This is why we cooperate with several schools. We put the students from the local high school of gastronomy and hotel management to work in the service, and three selected students shadowed members of the organizing team. Graduates from Mendel's Faculty of Horticulture were then directly involved in the wine evaluation."

Reprezentační prostory historického zámku Slavkov u Brna se 20. června stanou místem konání prestižní mezinárodní konference při soutěži vín Oenoforum 2024. Letošním tématem je odrůda Chardonnay s podtitulem "Quo vadis? Pozice, vývoj a perspektiva odrůdy révy vinné v blízkých regionech Evropy." Přednášející dorazí z Rakouska, Lichtenštejnska, Německa, Francie a samozřejmě bude zastoupena i Česká republika.
Konferenci zahájí Pavel Buchta, obchodní manažer společnosti Vinařský ráj, která je již několik let generálním partnerem. Svojí přednáškou naváže na loňské téma "Vinařská fyzika" a bude se věnovat využití pneumatických lisů ve vztahu k odrůdě Chardonnay. Součástí jeho vystoupení bude i ochutnávka tří špičkových českých vín této odrůdy.
Inspirativní přednášky:
• Moritz Jülg z vinařství Jülg v německé vinařské oblasti Pfalz. Vinařství založil v roce 1961 Oskar Jülg, průkopník používání dubových sudů v Německu. Moritz, zástupce třetí generace této vinařské rodiny, nás provede spojením francouzského stylu a německé preciznosti, porovná různé kvalitativní úrovně sektu a srovná vína VDP.ORTSWEIN a VDP.ERSTE LAGE.
• Stefan Tscheppe (generální ředitel vinařství knížete z Lichtenštejna) a Josef Stumvoll (enolog) z Vinařství Hofkellerei des Fürsten von Liechtenstein, zastupují rakouskou apelaci Leitheberg DAC a lichtenštejnské údolí Vadúz. Tito odborníci představí svůj přístup ke dvěma rozdílným terroir a nabídnou vzorky vín z Rakouska i Lichtenštejnska.
• Jaromír Gala z Vinařství Gala nás seznámí se svou cestou za dokonalou chutí terroir Pálavy. Jaromír a Alžběta ji hledají od roku 2007, kdy vysadili na Pálavě nové vinice. Přednáška se zaměří na dva typy zpracování odrůdy Chardonnay: šumivá a tichá vína. Srovná půdní složení Pálavy s regionem Champagne a degustace odhalí podobnosti i rozdíly. Druhá část se zaměří na filosofii výroby tichých vín z této odrůdy s degustací tří ročníků jejich Chardonnay.
• Louis de La Brosse z Tonnellerie François Frères, jednoho z nejslavnějších bednářství na světě, přinese své zkušenosti z burgundských vinařství (např. Chateau Pommard, Faiveley). Louis se zaměří na historické a moderní zpracování Chardonnay, včetně tématu batonnage - ano či ne a reduktivního stylu výroby bílých vín v Burgundsku. Teoretickou část doplní praktická degustace vín tří známých burgundských apelací.
Kapacita konference je omezena na 85 účastníků. Neváhejte a přihlaste se na webu soutěže nebo Národního vinařského centra.
Soutěž a konferenci organizuje a pořádá Svaz vinařů ČR za podpory Vinařského fondu ČR, Národního vinařského centra, o.p.s. a dalších organizací. Generálním partnerem je společnost Vinařský ráj.

Osmnáctý ročník mezinárodní soutěže vín Oenoforum – Czech International Wine Competition odstartuje už ve čtvrtek 20. června v 9 hodin mezinárodní vinařskou konferencí. Na zámku ve Slavkově u Brna se tak uskuteční přednášky předních odborníků ve vinařství postavené na praktických příkladech a degustaci diskutovaných vín. Letošním tématem je odrůda Chardonnay - Quo vadis? Pozice, vývoj a perspektiva odrůdy révy vinné v blízkých regionech Evropy.
Hlavní přednášku povede zástupce Vinařství Jülg z německé vinařské oblasti Pfalz. Vinařství založil v roce 1961 Oskar Jülg a stal se průkopníkem používání dubových sudů, které byly v Německu dlouho zapovězené. Na konferenci jsme pozvali bratry Jülgovy, již třetí generaci této vinařské rodiny. Díky poloze na pomezí německých a francouzských hranic ochutnáme různé ročníky vín spojené francouzským stylem zpracování a německé preciznosti. Styl, který je, dle jejich slov, moderní ale ne módní, přímý a pokud jde o kvalitu, tak nekompromisní.
Dalším zahraničním hostem bude Louis de La Brosse, který už více než 5 let pracuje v jednom z nejslavnějších bednářství světa Francois Fréres. Do této firmy přišel s mnohaletými zkušenostmi z burgundských vinařství (např. Chateau Pommard), takže bychom na problematiku práce se sudy jen těžko hledali povolanějšího řečníka.
Tuzemské vinařství a práci s odrůdou Chardonnay pak odprezentuje Jaromír Gala ze stejnojmenného vinařství. Při jeho přednášce ochutnáme růžné ročníky vín terroiru Pálava.
Kapacita konference je omezena na 85 účastníků, proto neváhejte s přihlášením zde na webu v sekci Konference.
Organizátorem a pořadatelem soutěže a konference je Svaz vinařů ČR. Soutěž podporuje Vinařský fond České republiky, Národní vinařské centrum, o.p.s. a další organizace. Generálním partnerem akce je společnost Vinařský ráj.
Těšíme se na setkání na slavkovském zámku,

The two-day 17th Oenoforum - Czech International Wine Competition held in the Mikulov Chateau congress hall produced the following results. The best young wine was the Moravian Sauvignon, the best white wine was the Welschriesling and the Moravian and Czech wines had six more winners in various categories. The remaining two champion titles went to Slovakia and Moldova. Oenoforum is organized by the Union of Winegrowers of the Czech Republic under the auspices of the OIV - International Organization for Wine and Viticulture as the single largest wine competition in the Czech Republic.
Sauvignon 2022, late harvest, by Štěpán Maňák won the champion title in the young wine category. The best white wine was Welschriesling 2021, selection of grapes, by the Kněží hora winery. The best red wine was Domeniille Cuza Malbeck, 2021, IGT by the Moldovan Vinaria Domeniille Cuza and the title for the best cuvée went to the Slovak wine 3 Brugundy 2021, PDO wine by the Víno Mrva & Stanko winery.
Our winemakers won in 6 categories:
"This year's edition followed the format of the previous editions comparing wines from all over the world while highlighting the significance of global varieties of grapevine, namely Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, but also our traditional varieties grown in the Czech Republic, i.e. Welschriesling and Pálava. 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. However, Oenoforum is not only a competition, it also has an educational part in the form of a conference. Last year, a new format was introduced in which we always focus on two typical varieties in a typical terroir in the context of traditional versus modern processing in two nearby regions. Every year we choose a different, but original and in a way exceptional venue and this year the choice fell on the conference hall at the Chateau in Mikulov, a town that undoubtedly belongs among the main centres of Moravian winemaking and is internationally well-known for this tradition," said Ing. Martin Půček, executive director of the organizing Union of Winemakers.
517 wines from Austria, France, Slovakia, Portugal, Italy, Chile, Bulgaria, Moldova, Spain and naturally the Czech Republic were entered into the 17th Oenoforum 2023 wine competition. The competition took place on 16 and 17 June in the congress hall of the Mikulov Chateau. The programme of the competition also included an international wine conference a day earlier on the topic RYZLINK VLAŠSKÝ & SAUVIGNON BLANC, Quo vadis, Development and perspectives of two global grape varieties in two close regions - Austria and the Czech Republic, where the speakers were leading wine experts from both countries.
The organizer and promoter of the competition and conference is the Union of Winemakers of the Czech Republic. The competition is supported by the Wine Fund of the Czech Republic, the National Wine Centre, o.p.s. and other organizations. The competition was held under the auspices of the Governor of the South Moravian Region Jan Grolich and the Mayor of Mikulov Jitka Sobotková. The general partner of the event is the company Vinařský ráj.
