3 gold and 6 silver medals

"It was in the sweet wine category where we started to let the world know about the quality of our wines in the modern history of our winery.and I am therefore glad that nothing has changed even today, when no one doubts our world-class quality across categories. The Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, with its huge number of participating wines and the division into specialised sections, gives the opportunity for the most professional comparison with the world and it is great news that this year's edition is also closed by our winemakers with medal successes in all four parts of the competition," said Ing. Dagmar Fialová, Marketing Director of the National Wine Centre.

Since last year, the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles (CMB) has been divided into 4 parts (so-called sessions). The final part evaluated sweet and fortified wines in Brussels, Belgium. The first part belonging to rosé wines took place in March and earned our wines 1 grand gold, 1 gold and 2 silver medals. Then came the main and most charged part, dedicated to red and white wines.from which our winemakers brought back 42 medals (2 large gold, 18 gold and 22 silver). The penultimate part was dedicated to sparkling wines, where our wines won 2 gold and 6 silver medals.

CMB was first held in 1994. In the first years the evaluation took place in Brussels, in 2006 the venue started to be travelling between different wine regions. It took place in Plovdiv (Bulgaria), Jesolo (Italy), Guimares (Portugal), Luxembourg (Luxembourg), Bratislava (Slovakia), Aiglé (Switzerland) and others. In 2020, the competition will be hosted for the first time in Brno, Moravia. The Czech Republic has participated in the competition since the very beginning.
