The three-day evaluation of the wines of the 21st edition of the prestigious Spanish wine competition Bacchus Madrid 2023 has brought another happy news for the Czech Republic. In the refined palace of the Casino de Madrid, it received the title for the Best Oenologist in the category of still wines, and in addition, in the competition of 1728 wines from 17 countries, Moravian wines earned 34 medals. Participation in the competition was traditionally financially supported by the Wine Fund and organised by the National Wine Centre.
The award for the best enologist went to Jiří Toman, chief enologist and cellar master of B\V Vinařství z Milotic u Kyjov, for the bestbest collection and also the best rated wine of the Czech Republic Veltlínské zelené 2021, late harvest. He repeated the same success he had already achieved in 2021.
5 large gold, 24 gold and 5 silver medals
"It's a great feeling and I appreciate the award immensely. Just being in the company of enologists from all over the world and being able to compare myself with them is a great opportunity for me. I already won the award for best oenologist in the white dry category in 2021 and, just like then, this is a huge surprise for me. I also see it as an award for our entire winery and all my colleagues," said Jiří Toman. The winery's wines were also awarded 4 large gold, 12 gold and 3 silver medals. The B\V winery has been successful at the international level for a long time. Recently, it also won the title for the best dry white wine at the Le Mondial des Vins Blancs Strasbourg competition.
Moravian wines can boast 5 major gold, 24 gold and 5 silver medals. Davinus also scored a major gold medal along with one gold and one silver. Lahofer Winery, Gazaň Winery, Miroslav Volařík and Zámecké vinařství Bzenec have two gold medals each.
"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.
