Wines from São Paulo are currently in the spotlight. Once again, a producer from the state has received international recognition! Casa Soncini, a winery on the shores of the Jurumirim Reservoir, has just won three awards at Vinus 2026 —the Mendoza International Wine and Spirits Competition, Argentina’s most traditional event of its kind .
This isn’t the first time Casa Soncini has put São Paulo on the map of major global wine labels, demonstrating that São Paulo’s wine industry competes on equal footing with brands from around the world.
São Paulo Winery Earns Historic Recognition at Vinus 2026
Casa Soncini won awards for three white wines at the same event, becoming the first winery in the interior of São Paulo to achieve this feat.
The highlight of the competition was the“Fumée Blanc,” the winery’s only 100% Sauvignon Blanc. The wine, which received the Double Gold Medal after scoring an impressive 96 points, spends eight months in first-use French oak barrels. This process imparts aromas of peach, apricot, passion fruit, and guava, along with a medium-to-full body, an unctuous texture, and a long finish.
In addition, the winery won two other Gold Medals with outstanding scores. The classic “ ”“Sauvignon Blanc 2024” received 91 points for its acidity, grapefruit notes , and minerality. Likewise, the recently launched“Jurumirim 2024” achieved the same score and took home the gold.
Casa Soncini: A History Marked by International Medals
The award in Argentina comes as no surprise, as Casa Soncini had already racked up major achievements on the European circuit. In April 2026, the winery from the interior of São Paulo received the Gold Medal at Vinalies Internationales, a prestigious competition in Cannes, France. On that occasion, the international jury highlighted the “Casa Soncini Syrah Rosé 2024, ” a wine characterized by its freshness and aromatic profile of red fruits.
In this way, Casa Soncini has established itself as a benchmark for premium wines. Proving to São Paulo residents that sophisticated, world-class wines are available right in our own backyard!
