The Valtice Wine Market is held annually in May in the renovated riding hall and the Spanish Stables of the Valtice Castle, which give the whole event an unforgettable backdrop and atmosphere. Nearly 6,000 visitors regularly come to taste the wines of thepic level from all over the Czech Republic as well as from abroad, which have succeeded in the competition of the same name. "We are very pleased with the interest in the Valtice Wine Market in the form of 122 wine companies from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but also from Austria, Germany, Italy, Chile, Argentina, Australia and Croatia. The number of samples, which is one of the largest in the more than 100-year history of this competition, is very sympathetic, but not decisive. The main thing is quality, and I believe that this year we will also see high quality wines from all over the world that will duke it out in the grand final for the title of Valtice Wine Market Champion," said David &Scaron;t'astn&yacute;, chairman of Valtice Wine Market, and added: "Thank you very much to everyone for their interest in this wonderful competitive exhibition, especially at a time when weThis is a great opportunity for our traditional industry, which cares for the countryside and nature, to face huge challenges. It is not only the recurrent devastating frosts that are affecting it, but also the efforts of some people to simply not support traditional viticulture in the country." Most of the wines entered are from the 2024 vintage, namely 318 samples. The second place is taken by the 2023 vintage with 254 samples. The oldest in this year's competition is the 2009 vintage. Among the wine varieties, the dominant one is Riesling, whose winemakers submitted a total of 79 samples.

Česko jako vinařská destinace má co nabídnout, podtrhují odborníci ze zahraničí.

The competition was inaugurated by the festival manager Jiř&iacute; Lejhanec, who was also responsible for the organization of the concurrent evaluation committee. This committee was given a unique opportunity to experience what it is like to evaluate all 74 competition samples in one day. The jury awarded a total of 8 Grand Gold Medals and 20 Gold Medals. Interestingly, among the entries there were also 15 dry variants of the P&aacute;lava variety, of which 2 won a Grand Gold Medal and 4 a Gold Medal. This result confirms the growing popularity of dry wines from this variety (usually perceived as sweeter), which is great news for dry wine lovers. The absolute winner of the competition was P&aacute;lava 2024 VzH, track Pod St&aacute;tn&iacute;, Bavory from Winery ENTR&Eacute;E Mikulov, and in the category of dry wines the winner was P&aacute;lava VzH 2022, Horn&iacute; Věstonice from Volař&iacute;k Mikulov Winery. However, the P&aacute;lava wines from Slovakia also had great results, taking home two Grand Gold Medals and two Gold Medals! <a href="https://pardubickyfestivalvina.cz/" target="_blank">The results of the 27th wine competition will be announced</a> at the Pardubice Chateau during the traditional Pardubice Wine Festival at the end of August. "Lovers of dry wines can also look forward to the fact that the P&aacute;lava region is also becoming an interestingP&aacute;lava is not just a variety of sweet wines," said Jiř&iacute; Lejhanec on behalf of the organising agency Czech Marketing.

27th Pardubice Wine Festival with a focus on the Pálava variety

At the prestigious international trade fair ProWein 2025 in D&uuml;sseldorf (16-18. March), 10 diverse wineries will present themselves under the banner of the Czech Republic, offering visitors almost 60 samples directly from the hands of the winemakers themselves on site. More than 100 more will be newly introduced in the free tasting zone. New motto: Czech Republic - the wine country of the future Czech winemaking is developing dynamically and responding to the global challenges of modern winemaking. This is evidenced by this year's motto "Czech wines of the Future", i.e. "Czech Republic - the wine country of the future". This claim underlines the strengths of our winemaking: progressive ecological approaches, high quality and sustainability. Czech winemaking is characterised by minimal use of sprays - on average only eight per year, the lowest in Europe. Winegrowers work with denser plantings to help withstand drought and extreme climaticconditions, and use irrigation mixtures that improve water retention in the vineyards.<img src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/25489/1741859657-783y3v0kag_czech-wines-future.jpeg" width="526" height="526" />The Czech Republic is one of the pioneers in the cultivation of PIWI varieties, which are resistant to disease and enable sustainable viticulture. A new generation of winegrowers is bringing a fresh perspective to traditional methods by drawing inspiration from foreign experience. Another trend in recent years is the introduction of trees into vineyards, which promotes biodiversity and natural ecosystems. Czech wineries are also able to respond flexibly to difficult vintages and maintain stable wine quality. Free tasting zone - an effective way to discover Czech wines A new feature of this year's edition is the extended presentation of more than 100 samples in the so-called Free Tasting Area. These zones have become a trend at international fairs and are proving to be an effective tool for discovering new wine regions. The Free Tasting Area will offer wines from the smallest family wineries to large producers, including winners of prestigious competitions such as Winemaker of the Year and Winery of the Year. In addition to traditional varieties, we will also present PIWI wines and several natural samples, including those certified by DEMETER. What can you look forward to? Visitors to ProWein 2025 will be able to discover a wide variety of Czech varieties, which we describe in three groups:
<ul>
<li>Local darlings. </li>
<li>Internationals: discover Czech Riesling, Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir.</li>
<li>Bubbles &amp; Naturals &amp; PiWi: Follow trends in organic farming, organic production and low-intervention wines.</li>
</ul>
Special tastings at the booth We have also arranged special guided tastings. We thus invite you to stand H89 in Hall 9, whose design by CHYBIK + KRISTOF ASSOCIATED ARCHITECTS symbolizes the essence of winemaking, those interested in tasting Magnum bottles or more mature vintages. Sunday 14:00 - Tasting of Magnum bottles with Klara Koll&aacute;rov&aacute;, national sommelier and DipWSET. Monday 14:00 - Older vintages and observation of the potential of our wines The partners of the project are the Wine Fund and the South Moravian Region, support is provided by the Union of Winegrowers and the Ministry of Agriculture, but above all by the participating wineries themselves.

Successes of Czech winemakers at the Terravino Israel 2025 competition

The Winery of the Year competition annually recognizes the best domestic wines and producers who know how to serve themand offer them to customers in an interesting environment and add a great experience to it. "The whole competition is meant to be a showcase of the best of what we do in the industry and what we are really proud of. The award-winning winemakers take great care of the land, create artisanally excellent wines, and do a variety of activities for their customers and their positive experience. They are industry leaders who also motivate other winemakers to follow their lead. In the case of &Scaron;těp&aacute;n Maň&aacute;k and this year's other winners, this is true without fail," said Martin Chlad, President of the organizing Association of Winemakers of the Czech Republic. The Maň&aacute;k couple took over their ancestral vineyards in 1992 and gradually built them into one of the most successful wineries in the Czech Republic. Their philosophy is to combine tradition, honest work and innovation in order to preserve authenticity while pushing ecological approaches and quality. They farm 25 hectares of vineyards, among which they consider Ž&aacute;dovsk&yacute; Fěruňk the most important. They specialise in varieties such as Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and are pioneers in the cultivation of PIWI varieties, i.e. new varieties resistant to fungal diseases. "It's always hard to create something, to move something, to build something, and it's even harder to make something out of nothing, to patiently come in every day and add a piece of the mosaic, to put together the whole perfect picture. Here we have managed to build a great thing, precise wines and great gastronomy," said Mojm&iacute;r Baroň, one of the final evaluators. He and his colleagues praised the management of the family winery, its art, the recently built new premises and the fact that the new generation is also involved in the running of the company.' The category of medium wineries (with a production between 50,001 and 200,000 litres of wine) was won this year by the Gotberg winery in Popice known for the architecture of its premises and the impressive view of the P&aacute;lava Mountains, took the top spot. "When you look at the vineyards here, it is clear from the start that they know what they are doing. They leave nothing to chance, they pay absolute attention to the vineyard and this precision and care is then reflected in the bottle and the glass," said Vil&eacute;m Kraus, another of the evaluators. Among the smallest producers (up to 50,000 litres of wine per year), the &Scaron;palek Family Winery, known for its organic approach, care for the landscape and commitment to the region, reigned supreme. The winery was founded in Nov&yacute; &Scaron;aldorf in the Znojmo region shortly after the revolution by a father and two sons. Today, three generations of family members have worked there. In addition to growing grapes for wine, they also enjoy building viewpoints, hanging swings and erecting menhirs. Their motto is that "It's not about collecting the most medals, it's about having the happiest bees in the vineyard." "Personally, I really appreciate the cooperation between generations here. The exchange of ideas between the young innovative members of the family and the older ones allows the winery to move forward continuously. I also like how important the customer is to these winemakers, and how they explain the whole terroir to them, and how they have a perfectly developed program in the vineyardsso that everyone can walk around for hours and hours," emphasised Kl&aacute;ra Koll&aacute;rov&aacute;, national sommelier and chair of the evaluation committee. At the gala evening of the Winery of the Year, the title of Lomax Enologist of the Year was also awarded to the Hustopece winemaker Roman Fabig, who is known for his precise approach and focus on the Sauvignon variety, which he processes in several forms. The award for an important wine personality for a lifetime contribution in the field of viticulture or winemaking - the Prof. Vil&eacute;m Kraus price - was awarded to Josef Vozdeck&yacute;, who is lifelong associated with Bohemia Sekt and its transformation from a permanenttional enterprise into a commercial company, where he and his colleagues gradually created the largest wine-growing group in the Czech Republic. The prize of the students of the Faculty of Horticulture at MENDELU was awarded to &Scaron;těp&aacute;n Maň&aacute;k Winery, which completed the winning hat-trick. The competition is announced and the title of Winery of the Year is awarded by the Union of Winegrowers of the Czech Republic in cooperation with the National Wine Centre, with significant support from the Wine Fund of the Czech Republic, the South Moravian Region and the City of Brno. The event is organized under the auspices of the Governor Jan Grolich and the Mayor of the Statutory City of Brno Mark&eacute;ta Vaňkov&aacute;. The competition is also supported by the Brno Observatory and Planetarium, the Faculty of Horticulture of Mendel University and the Tourism Centre - South Moravia.

The absolute winner is Štěpán Maňák. Gotberg and the Spalk family also scored. The title of Enologist of the Year goes to Roman Fabig.

The road to the Salon is long and not at all easy. After all, each gold medalist was successively subjected to three evaluations and the golden hundred came from a record 2825 wines entered at the beginning of the competition. From the sub-regional rounds, a still quite generous 1593 wines were entered into the first national round. The strictest filter of professional tasters, but also, for example, chemical analysesThe most severe scrutiny came later, when only 400 finalists had the opportunity to win the top prize.

"The Wine Salon is rightly described as an imaginary paradise for wine lovers, because on the one hand, thanks to its uncompromising system, it guarantees theIt also takes into account the uniqueness of the wine regions of the Czech Republic, our rich varietal composition and wine-making handwriting. Every visit to the tasting exhibition of the Valtice Chateau gives you the opportunity to get a comprehensive picture of how and what kind of wines are made in our country.," said Petr Gond&aacute;&scaron;, manager of the Wine Salon from the National Wine Centre, which organizes the competition and also manages the tasting exhibition. "Keep an eye on your favourite winemakers to see if they were lucky this year and made it into the golden hundred of this year's collection. Not only in the Wine Salon itself, but also in shops and wine shops, on winemakers' e-shops and websites, and in restaurants, these wines can be recognised by their golden Salon of Wines 2025 medals stuck on the wine bottles and it is good that our top-rated wines can be enjoyed by everyone," he added.
