Zaplet Wins the Plum Rakia Trophy at Wine Vision

Belgrade — Cherry Hill distillery achieved an exceptional result at the international Wine Vision by Open Balkan fair, where Zaplet Plum received the highest distinction in the plum category: the Plum Rakia Trophy. The award confirms its place among the region’s finest plum rakia. An international jury assessed more than one hundred leading fruit spirits from across the region using the global 100-point standard.

The award is an important recognition of the dedication, knowledge and passion of the Cherry Hill team. Through Zaplet, the distillery brings together Serbia’s rich rakia tradition, modern production technology and uncompromising standards of quality.

‘Zaplet is more than rakia. It is a story of origin, time, patience and people who believe that exceptional quality begins with love for the craft. This recognition tells us that we are on the right path and encourages us to continue creating rakia that represents Serbia with distinction around the world.’

Wine Vision by Open Balkan is now one of South-East Europe’s leading fairs for wine and spirits, bringing together producers, experts and buyers from many countries. Its Open Balkan Rakia Trophy is judged by an international panel against the highest global quality criteria.

The trophy for Zaplet Plum demonstrates once again what carefully selected fruit, patient maturation and attention to every detail can achieve — a spirit capable of setting new standards at home and abroad.
