The champion, i.e. the best wine of the competition, was declared P&aacute;lava straw wine 2021 from R&eacute;va Rakvice winery. Interestingly, the same wine, but of the 2020 vintage, took second place in last year's competition. The winery also added one more silver medal for the Hibernal straw wine 2021.
"We are happy that our honest work and our efforts to constantly improve and move forward have been recognised at an international competition like Cool Climate. We are very pleased with the award. But we were even more pleased that the best wine of the show was P&aacute;lava Straw Wine 2021. In the production, we placed great emphasis on quality and selection of raw materials and gentle processing. Judging by the results, it seems to have paid off," said Marek Grbavčic, the Operations Director of R&eacute;va Rakvice Winery.
<blockquote>
 9 gold and 20 silver medals
</blockquote>
The second place went to the Pinot Noir Selection 2018 from the Vinselekt Michlovsk&yacute; winery, which with 6 medals (4 gold and 2 silver) became our most successful representative at the competition. Out of a total of 29 medals for our wine, 9 were gold and 20 silver.
The Cool Climate Wine Awards (CCWA) competition was founded and organized by "Czas Wina", the largest Polish wine magazine and is held annually in Krakow. It is intended for all types of wines (i.e. still and sparkling, dry and sweet), from all wine regions around the world, which fall into the category of "cool climate" wines. An international jury of the world's renowned wine experts (this year from nine countries), including the Masters of Wine, will issuegives an independent and unbiased verdict on these wines, ensuring that the competition is fair and professional.

Moravian wines again dominated the international wine competition in Poland!

842 samples from 158 wineries from 6 countries took part in this year's 30th edition of the competition. The winners of the prestigious competition titles were decided by 19 tasting panels from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Great Britain, Australia and South Africa on 26 and 27 April in Valtice. The main prizes of the competition were awarded to the winners on 25 May at a gala evening held in the beautiful and unique premises of the Mendel Greenhouse. For the participants of the ceremony, among whom were tasters, winemakers and partners of the competition, but also representatives of the South Moravian Region or the City of Brno, a tasting of selected competition wines was prepared.
The wines of this year's competition once again proved their high quality - a large number of wines won medals, 51 of them even won a large gold medal (min. 90 points). The title of the champion of the competition and the winner of the category of white semi-dry wines went to Vinařstv&iacute; from Brno Volař&iacute;k from Mikulov for the Ryzlink r&yacute;nsk&yacute; 2021 in the category of selection of grapes from the Purmice in Perná. Ondřej Tich&yacute;, the winery's oenologist, added: "This is a wine from our top range, in which we try to reflect the terroir of the Mikulov region in the bottles. Purmice is one of our most prestigious lines. The wine is very fruity, the taste is dominated by apricot with a beautiful mineral finish. "In addition to a glass sculpture and a diploma, the producer of the champion took away a helper to the winery - a high-pressure cleaner donated to the competition by K&auml;rcher.
<blockquote>
 The Best Collection award went to Pavlov Winery
</blockquote>
The Best Collection award and a voucher for a Haier wine cellar went to Pavlov Winery for seven samples with an average score of 88.76 points.

Main prizes of the jubilee edition of GRAND PRIX VINEX presented in the Mendel Greenhouse in Brno

Czech and Moravian wine producers and foreign-wine importers entered into this year&rsquo;s edition a total of 136 wines in six competition categories: 32 dry white wines (category A1), 28 semi-dry and semi-sweet white wines (A2), 45 red wines (B), 10 ros&eacute; wines (C), 16 sparkling wines (D) and 5 sweet and liqueur wines (E). A total of eight countries sent their samples to this competition: Czech Republic (106 wines), Slovakia (10), France (6), Bulgaria (4), Denmark (4), Austria (2), Spain (2) and South Africa (2). Wines which fulfilled the conditions of the competition statutes were assessed in the tasting room of National Wine Centre in Valtice on 17th April using the 100-point evaluation system under the patronage of the National Wine Centre. A hundred-point system was used in accordance with the criteria as defined by the National Standards for Certifying wine competitions of the Czech Republic. Wines receiving 90 points or over were in receipt of a double gold medal, wines achieving between 87 and 89.99 points were awarded a gold medal, wines achieving between 84 and 86.99 points were awarded a silver medal. It was decided by the organizers not to award any bronze medals.
A trio of specialised committees under the direction of Fedor Mal&iacute;k, Josef Bal&iacute;k and Martin Proke&scaron; awarded 7 double gold medals, 21 gold and 71 silver medals. Local Moravian wines were honoured with 5 double gold, 14 gold and 53 silver medals. Most successful among the foreign participants were wines emanating from Slovakia (2 gold, 5 silver), France (3 gold, 3 silver), Bulgaria (2 gold, 2 silver), followed by Denmark (4 silver), Spain (1 double gold, 1 silver), South Africa (1 double gold, 1 silver) and Austria (2 silver).
The title of Champion in the category of dry white wines was awarded to coupage of Sauvignon and S&eacute;millon Coastal Creative Block 2020 (Spier Wines, South Africa; imported by Zebra Wines). The title of National Winner for the best-rated dry white wine of local provenance went to assemblage of Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot blanc Star&aacute;k 2021 (Z&aacute;meck&eacute; vinařstv&iacute; Bzenec). The red-wine champion was Cuv&eacute;e Str&aacute;žnice 2021 (Žerot&iacute;n, Czech Republic) made from Cabernet Cortis, Merlot and Lemberger. The winner in the category of semi-dry and semi-sweet white wines was cuv&eacute;e Aubere Rezerva 2015 (Vinařstv&iacute; Dvoř&aacute;ček LTM, Czech Republic) produced from the Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Pinot gris. Sweet and liquer wines category was dominated by cuv&eacute;e of Gr&uuml;ner Veltliner, Welschriesling, Sauvignon and Moravian Muscat Bobulky 70 2017 straw-wine (Oldřich Dr&aacute;pal, Czech Republic). The victor in the Ros&eacute; and/or Blanc de Noirs category was coupage of Grolleau gris, Grolleau noir and Cabernet franc Ros&eacute; de Loire 2022 (Domaine de la Haute Coudraie, France; imported by Winaři store). The winner in the sparkling-wine category was Cava Jan Vidal Honor Reserva Brut 2021 (Jan Vidal, Spain; imported by Winaři store), assemblage of Xarello, Macabeo and Parellada. The award for the Best Collection of Wines was defended in the closest battle in the history of the competition (Trakia Wine fell behind by a hundredth of a point) by domestic producer Z&aacute;meck&eacute; vinařstv&iacute; Bzenec.
Champion titles were also handed out in the frame of Cuv&eacute;e Ostrava Wine Exhibition at Castle Z&aacute;břeh Hotel on 4th May by the Committee of the Lay Public. These results permit wine producers and importers to compare the opinions of the specialists with those of wine aficionados. With the Jaroslav Kozel Award, in the shape of an original work by glassmaker Ricardo Hoineff, the organisers are paying tribute to the late wine lover from South Moravia without whom the Cuv&eacute;e Ostrava Wine Competition would never even have seen the light of day. The Champions as chosen by the lay public were Kl&iacute;ň&aacute;k 2021 (Z&aacute;meck&eacute; vinařstv&iacute; Bzenec, Czech Republic) made of Pinot blanc and Chardonnay, as well as French blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet franc and Malbec Bordeaux Ch&acirc;teau Marjosse 2018 (Ch&acirc;teau Marjosse, France; imported by L9). National winner in the red wines category was Manuscript Merlot / Pinot noir 2018 (Vinařstv&iacute; Baloun, Czech Republic). The winners in the individual categories were assamblage of Gr&uuml;ner Veltliner, Welschriesling, Sauvignon and Moravian Muscat Bobulky 69 2016 straw-wine (Oldřich Dr&aacute;pal, Czech Republic), then Sekt Mikrosv&iacute;n Brut 2019 (Vinařstv&iacute; Mikrosv&iacute;n Mikulov, Czech Republic), coupage of Welschriesling, Pinot blanc and Riesling, and in accordance with specialised jury Ros&eacute; de Loire 2022 (Domaine de la Haute Coudraie, France; imported by Winaři store). In view of the huge number of entries with a higher residual sugar content in the submissions by local wine producers, the Ostrava wine aficianodes have arrived at the conclusion not to judge the categories of off-dry and semi-sweet wines. The award for the Best Collection of Wines according to the lay public went to the importer Trakia Wine. Kl&iacute;ň&aacute;k 2021 (Z&aacute;meck&eacute; vinařstv&iacute; Bzenec, Czech Republic) was then honored by the Jaroslav Kozel Award.
The results from this &ndash; the one and only international wine competition taking place in Northern Moravia &ndash; were made public on the same day at the Cuv&eacute;e Ostrava Wine Exhibition in Z&aacute;břeh Castle. Professor Fedor Mal&iacute;k inaugurated the accompanying programme with his traditional tutored tasting of "Slovak wines at 5 o&lsquo;clock". Thereafter the wine exhibition will be freely accessible to the general public to the plangent sounds of Moravian dulcimer music, while visitors could sample not only the wines from the competition, but also varietal wines from those Moravian winemakers and importers of foreign wines who were present. The accompanying programme culminated with a presentation by Tom&aacute;&scaron; Dominec titled "Wines of France Vol. 6."
The presumptuous aim of the organisers of the Cuv&eacute;e Ostrava competition is to witness a renaissance of the good name of blends or brands and their return to the forefront of the products on offer from Czech and Moravian winemakers, as is customary in other major wine-producing countries. In the words of the spiritual father of the competition Professor Vil&eacute;m Kraus: "There's no Cuv&eacute;e like a Cuv&eacute;e" meaning that each and every blend is different.

"The quality of the competition wines is growing year by year, not only in Madrid, but at all competitions under the VINOFED banner. I have been following this for several years in a row as one of the jury presidents in the Bacchus evaluation. Each medal is now worth more again. In the company of nearly a hundred judges from all over the world, including six Master of Wine winners and several merchants and sommeliers from the "This great success is a great advertisement for the Czech Republic," summarized Miroslav Majer, judge and director of DAVINUS.

The best oenologist and 34 medals for our wines from Madrid!

Chardonnay RESERVA 2018 B\V winery

Moravian wines did not shine in Strasbourg for the first time this year. It also won the highest award among dry wines in 2022 and 2020, and thus once again made its presence known not only in the organizing France, but throughout Europe.
<blockquote>
 Best Dry Wine, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon and Sylvan Green
</blockquote>
With the VINOFED award for the best dry wine of the competition, i.e. across all varieties, the B&amp;V winery also won the title for the best Chardonnay of the competition and a large gold medal. In addition, the same winery also added the best Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon. The award for the best Sylvanian Green for the winery CH&Acirc;TEAU VALTICE - Vinn&eacute; sklepy Valtice then illustrated the overall outstandingMoravian and Czech wines, which won a total of 6 large gold, 26 gold and 4 silver medals.
"The 2018 RESERVA Chardonnay is made from grapes grown in our 45-year-old vineyards in Rat&iacute;&scaron;kovice. It has a yellowish colour, with a delicate fruity aroma of yellow peaches, accompanied by tropical notes. The palate is full, harmonious, with fresh acidity, long and complex, as the wine was trained for 12 months on fine yeast lees in a large French oak barrel. It is an elegant big wine suitable for bottle ageing," said Jiř&iacute; Toman, oenologist and cellar master of B\V winery, introducing the best dry wine of the competition.
<blockquote>
 The original variety bred in the country
</blockquote>
The special award, given especially for the 25th anniversary of the winery's winery. P&aacute;lava Maidenburg 2022 from the Reisten winery in Pavlov. This year, Tereza Helmov&aacute;, Pavel Kr&scaron;ka, Miroslav Majer and Josef Valihrach, both older and younger, sat on the jury for the Czech Republic.
Our winemakers have been very successful at this competition for a long time. Last year the same award, i.e. the best dry wine of the competition, belonged to the Tram&iacute;n Red Late Harvest 2020 from the Davinus winery. B\V winery enjoyed the feeling of victory with a year older Chardonnay from the same series already in 2020. In addition, as this year, there were also wins in the individual varieties.

The best dry wine of the Strasbourg competition was the Moravian Chardonnay!

A total of 842 wines from 6 countries took part in this year's jubilee edition of the international wine competition Grand Prix Vinex. Traditionally, the most represented wines were from the Czech Republic (749 wines), followed by Slovakia (33 wines), Austria (32 wines), Hungary (21 wines), Germany (5 wines) and Italy (2 wines).
<blockquote>
 842 wines from 6 countries

The absolute champion of the competition was the winery Volař&iacute;k from Mikulov with its Riesling 2021, from the Terroir series from the Purmice vineyard in Perná.
Miroslav Volař&iacute;k, owner: "We are very happy. It is the result of the perfect work of the whole team and the handwriting of oenologist Ondřej Tich&yacute;. This is an exceptional wine that has won awards at other competitions. We appreciate it all the more because the overall quality of Moravian and Czech wines is constantly growing and the competition is dynamically increasing. It is also a great commitment for the future."
Ondřej Tich&yacute;, oenologist of the winery.I've only been an oenologist for a year and this month is already the 3rd champion! It is all the more pleasing that this is a wine from our top line, where we try to project Mikulovsko into the bottles. This is a beautiful result for the whole Volař&iacute;k Winery team! Thank you for it! :-) Purmice is one of our most prestigious lines, where we grow Riesling and Riesling. For this particular wine, we ran a longer maceration of the grapes (48 hours) and after fermentation we gave the wine more time to lie on the yeast. The wine is distinctly fruity, the flavours are dominated by apricot, with a lovely mineral finish. The grapes for this wine were partially botrytised, which is why the wine has a very high extract, around 29 g/l."

In addition to the champion, category winners, national winners and the best wine collection were selected.
The wines are evaluated annually by an expert committee consisting of both Czech and foreign tasters. This year, tasters from Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and Slovakia accepted the invitation and the points were awarded toThe judges awarded the winners via a special electronic system called ELWIS, developed by the National Wine Centre.
Lubom&iacute;r Matak, Director of the NVC:
On the occasion of the 30th year of the competition, instead of the traditional public tasting at the exhibition centre, we will gather together with tasters, winemakers and partners of the competition at a gala evening with the award ceremony. The event will take place on 25 May 2023 at the Mendel Greenhouse in Brno.
