Our winemakers regularly win a large number of medals here, thus objectively proving their mastery of their craft," commented Ing. Dagmar Fialov&aacute;, marketing director of the National Wine Centre, which ensures the participation of our wines in competitions, added: "given that the competition is dominated by wines from Central Europe, it is not a big surprise that our wines were among the most successful here again.The most successful wines were our traditional varieties such as Veltliner Green and Riesling, but M&uuml;ller Thurgau and Frankincense, which are literally perfect for our climate and soil, were not lost either."
In addition to the medals, Moravian and Czech wines in Austria received 47 "Good Quality Awards" ("Seal of Approval") and with a total of 349 awards, they are celebrating the most medal-winning harvest of the season.

Moravian and Czech wines bring back over 300 medals from Vienna

Sale of Moravian and Czech wines, popular fresh and aromatic St. Martin's Day winesthrough e-shops, experienced great development during the pandemic and since then customers have become accustomed to it. However, St. Martin's Day, 11/11, falls on a Saturday this year, when it is impossible for most e-shops to deliver the wines customers have ordered.
"To ensure that everyone, including e-shop customers, can enjoy St. Martin's Day wines from day one, we willus to allow customers to stock up for the St. Martin's Day weekend," explained the director of the Wine Fund, Mgr. Zbyněk Vičar and added: "However, sales through retail and catering businesses are allowed without change only from the 11th. Traditionally, on 11 November at 11 a.m., we will also hold the St. Martin's Day Basket in Brno on Svobody Square."
Only wines that succeed in the evaluation due to their quality will be able to wear the St. Martin's Day 2023 label. This year's edition will be judged by expert committees on 23 October and 1 November in cooperation with the National Wine Centre in Valtice.
<blockquote>
 Which varieties?
</blockquote>
St Martin's wines can be exclusively dry, both white, ros&eacute; and red, from specified varieties that ripen earlier, so winemakers can produce quality wines from them in time. White wines can be made from M&uuml;ller Thurgau, Veltliner Red Early, Muscat of Moravia and their cuv&eacute;es, while ros&eacute; from the varieties Modr&yacute; Portugal, Svatovavřineck&eacute;, Zweigeltrebe and their cuv&eacute;es, and red from the varieties Modr&yacute; Portugal, Svatovavřineck&eacute; and their cuv&eacute;es.

The 'Svatomartinsk&eacute;' brand was registered in 1995 and since 2005 has been owned by the Wine Fund, which in cooperation with the National Wine Centre, has been promoting these wines under a single logo for the nineteenth time.

We will taste St. Martin's wines in just one month! They will be available for order on e-shops from Thursday

63 winemakers and wine companies entered their wines in the first round. The demanding quality requirements were met by 95.4 % of the wines entered, but all is not lost for the producers of the 13 samples that have not yet been granted the possibility to use the St. They will still have the opportunity to work with the wines and compete again in the second round, which will take place on 1 November. Then the exact number of this year's St. Martin's wines and successful wineries will also be known. It can be expected that around 20% more will be added after the second round, with a greater proportion of these being reds, for which many winemakers are setting aside more time.

 272 of the 285 wines entered were successful

'St Martin's wines are generally very fresh, fruity and aromatic, light with lower alcohol and pleasant acidity. This is no different this year. This year's St Martin's Day M&uuml;ller Thurgau has notes of ripe white peach with juicy acidity. The Moravian Muscats are wonderfully citrusy, some with a touch of ripe kiwi. The early Veltliner has a fresh juicy taste and a light noble aroma with notes of mango, lime and other exotic fruits. The ros&eacute;s generally have a nice touch of strawberry yoghurt, or contain subtle yoghurt notes of forest fruits. The reds, on the other hand, are velvety soft, with aromas of violet blossoms and other spring meadow herbs and a spicy freshness," revealed the first information about the wines of the 2023 vintage Ing. Petr Gond&aacute;&scaron; from the National Wine Centre added: "The data available so far show that over 2 million bottles of St. However, an above-average sunny and warm September is behind the healthy and ideally ripe grapes for St. Martin's varieties. Winemakers picked the majority in the second half of September, giving them plenty of time to prepare the wines for the first grading date."
Of the 272 wines that passed the first round of evaluation and will therefore be able to carry the St. Martin's Day 2023 label, 124 are whites, 85 ros&eacute;s and clarets and 63 reds. The most represented variety so far is M&uuml;ller Thurgau (69 samples), followed by Svatovavrinecky (57), Blue Portugal (48), Zweigeltrebe (42) and Muscat of Moravia (38). The smallest number of wines was Veltliner red early (17) and one ros&eacute; Cuv&eacute;e.
"This year's St Martin's Day falls on a Saturday, which is a great opportunity to fully enjoy these fresh and fruity first wines of the current vintage as early as 11 November. However, the weekend deadline complicates the delivery of orders from e-shops, so the Wine Fund has decided to adjust the conditions slightly so that this year they can be ordered via e-shops from Thursday 9 November.However, delivery will be on Friday 10 November at the earliest, with a reminder that the St Martin's Day wine is not available for consumption until Saturday 11 November. However, sales through retail and catering outlets are not permitted until the 11th," said Mgr. Zbyněk Vičar, Director of the Wine Fund. The Fund owns the trademark Svatomartinsk&aacute; and annually lends it to winemakers. "Starting on Saturday, countless wine tastings and celebrations will start, restaurants will offer various special menus and St. Martin's Day wines will keep us company at least until the end of the year, when they will fully retain their natural freshness and lightness, added Vičar.

 St. Martin's Day Basket in Brno
</blockquote>
All events and celebrations are dominated by the largest tasting of St. Martin's wines in our country - St. Martin's Basket in Brno, which will be held on 11. 11. from 11 a.m. on Brno's Svobody Square, traditionally organized directly by the Wine Fund. For the umpteenth time, the festival will offer 100 samples of St. Martin's wines from various winemakers. The Wine Fund also supports a number of other St. Martin's Day events throughout the country.

Only wines that succeed in the evaluation due to their quality will be able to carry the St. Martin's Day label. The wine must therefore score at least 80 out of 100 points in the scoring. The wine's purity, colour, aroma, taste and overall impression are assessed. However, the quality control does not end with the evaluation on 23 October and 1 November. It will also continue to be carried out for wines bottled in the trade, so that everyone can be sure that the wines that that have passed the assessment are the same as those that appear in bottles in shops, wine shops and restaurants.
The 'Svatomartinsk&eacute;' brand was registered in 1995 and since 2005 has been owned by the Wine Fund, which in cooperation with the National Wine Centre, for the nineteenth time has been promoting these wines under a single logo.
