A huge success was achieved by Merlot 2020 selection from grapes from Morav&iacute;no Valtice winery, which took our only gold from the evaluation. One of only 57 gold medals awarded at the competition. The silver medal was awarded to the Merlot 2018 Reserva from the world competition of the very successful Milotice B\V winery. The Czech Republic had six samples among almost four hundred wines, from 165 producers of this variety from 14 countries.
"This important award is very binding for us, given the high international level of this competition. The wine, which "hinted" at its originality by winning the title of champion of the Valtice Wine Market in 2022, was aged for one year in wood (50% barrique and 50% in large oak barrels). After racking, it was aged for a further year before being released for sale. This resulted in an interesting composition of aromas and flavours," commented Ing. Ludv&iacute;k Bud&iacute;n, owner of the Morav&iacute;no Valtice winery.
The World Varietal Championship is traditionally organised by VINEA and is one of the competitions on the list of VINOFED, the organisation that brings together the world's most prestigious wine competitions. Of course, it has the patronage of the OIV (International Organisation of Vine and Wine) and the expert supervision of the Swiss Union of Oenologists. The Czech Republic was represented on the 20-member jury by Miroslav Majer, director of DAVINUS s.r.o.

"This year's edition continued the previous ones and again compared wines from all over the world, but at the same time it was to highlight the importance of those from the world'sgrape varieties, namely Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, but also our traditional grape varieties grown in the Czech Republic, namely Riesling and P&aacute;lava. Once again, we have also maintained our long-standing ambition to accept a maximum of 600 samples to allow sufficient space for evaluation and to maintain the emphasis on the quality of the wines entered. But Oenoforum is not only about the competition, it also has an educational part and that is the conference. Last year, a new format was set up in which we always focus on two typical varietiesin a typical terroir, in the context of traditional versus modern processing, and in two nearby regions. Each year we then choose a different but original and, in a way, exceptional venue, and this year the choice fell on the conference hall at the back of themku in Mikulov, a town that is undoubtedly one of the main centres of Moravian winemaking and is renowned abroad," said Ing. Martin Půček, executive director of the organizing Union of Winegrowers.
