More medals for Moravian wines for Sauvignons and rosés

The Concours Mondial de Bruxelles Rosé Wine Session was perfectly timed for the beginning of spring, before the upcoming rosé season. 1150 rosé wines from 25 countries competed in Montpellier, South of France, and Moravian wines won 1 grand gold, 1 gold and 2 silver medals. This was followed by a competition dedicated exclusively to the Sauvignon variety - Concours Mondial du Sauvignon, which was held outside Europe for the first time this year. From Franschhoek, South Africa, our winemakers impressed in a competition of 1210 winemakers from 20 countries, taking home 4 gold and 6 silver medals. Both competitions are organised by VINOPRES, based in Brussels.

"The Consours Mondial is one of the big, well-known and above all respected international wine competitions. Each medal is a sign of quality and has great marketing and commercial value not only as an export promotion but also for domestic customers, on our domestic market. Moravian and Czech rosé wines have been very popular for a long time and it is good that they are also making their mark on the international scene, where there is a strong trend in their consumption, e.g. In the UK they already account for around 30% of the market, so there is great potential in their creation. Sauvignon is one of the most popular grape varieties in the world and our winemakers will be successful there too. Another pleasing factor is that medals are not only won by large wineries, but also by smaller, family-owned ones," comments Ing. Dagmar Fialová, Marketing Director of the National Wine Centre.
