  • Strategic Development of Varietal Vineyards in the Czech Republic
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS AGRICULTURAE ET SILVICULTURAE MENDELIANAE BRUNENSIS Volume LX 43 Number 2, 2012 STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT OF VARIETAL VINEYARDS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC J. Sedlo, P. Tomšík Received: November 30, 2011 Abstract SEDLO, J., TOMŠÍK, P.: Strategic development of varietal vineyards in the Czech Republic. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2012, LX, No. 2, pp. 325–334 The paper describes strategic changes in the structure of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) varieties grown in the Czech Republic. In 2004–2005, (i.e. a er the admission of the Czech Republic into the EU) expenditures associated with restructuralisation and transformation of vineyards amounted for CZK 25,423 thous. The authors examine the development taking place in this domain within the last 50 years (i.e. from 1960 to 2010) and pay detailed attention to the period of 1989 to 2010. The paper analyses reasons of these changes and tries to describe the future development expected a er 2010. The current production potential of the Czech Republic are 19,633.45 hectares of vineyards. For the time being, there are in average 1.07 wine growers per hectare of vineyards. As compared with 1960, the acreage of vineyards has doubled up and the number of the most frequent varieties has also increased. Within the period of 1989–1990, four varieties (i.e. Müller Thurgau, Green Veltliner, Italian Riesling and Sankt Laurent) occupied more than 60 % of the total vineyards area in the Czech Republic, whereas at present there are altogether 8 varieties (Müller Thurgau, Green Veltliner, Italian Riesling, Rhein Riesling, Sauvignon, Sankt Laurent, Blaufrankish, and Zweigeltrebe) at the nearly the same acreage.

Demarcated area (b) Single document heading affected: Demarcated geographical area (c) Reasons: — The Wine Community Council of the Kunság Region (Kunsági Borvidék Hegyközségi Tanácsa) amended the product specification for the ‘Kunság/Kunsági’ PDO. The areas of the municipalities of Kömpöc, Petőfiszállás, Pálmonostora and Újszilvás classified as Class I and II according to the vineyard cadastre of wine-producing regions were added to the demarcated area. The change affects the demarcated area in the product specification for the ‘Duna/Dunai’ PDO and has been included in this application. The characteristics of the areas included in the vineyard cadastre correspond to the demarcated area of the ‘Duna/Dunai’ PDO. Vine-growing is one of the traditional economic activities of local inhabitants. The classification of the wine region and the possibility to produce the ‘Duna/Dunai’ PDO generates significant employment and income in these municipalities and contributes greatly towards the local tourism industry.

  • Sauska Kadarka
    Sauska Kadarka Villány 2017 „Candied cherry, watermelon and a hint of orange peel. Some mineral, earth and bark. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish.” James Suckling 91 pts. Elegant, pale, translucent red. After the innocent color, the wine is almost shockingly energetic and intense with an outburst of red berry aromas, mostly raspberry, red currant, bog bilberry. Fresh with great minerality. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and good balance. Just a lovely indigenous red, big team favorite. Blend: kadarka Recommended drinking temperature: 12 °C Alcohol content: 13,5 % Bottle size: 0,75 l Vineyards Ördögárok vineyard Crops are grown on soil that is enriched with minerals such as loess, limestone and red clay. Kadarka is the grape that builts its charm on tannins: this is why the wine from here is better than anywhere else. Because there is a large difference of sea-level level between the slanted ground of the vineyard, grapes mature in a hot ditch that keeps in the heat all day and night long. The Year The fall-winter resting time of the vineyards was very cold in 2017, with just a moderate amount of snow. The above-average warm months of March resulted in very early bud-break on the Blaufrankisch (Kékfrankos) plantations, followed by the Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. The pre-blooming period was extremely warm leading to quick blooming and binding in the second two weeks of May. The June-August period was warm and balanced. In July several quick but heavy storms put our perfectly ripening bunches at risk.

  • 2018 Maurer Kadarka 1880 Sremska, Serbia
    2018 Maurer Kadarka 1880 Sremska, Serbia The Maurer family has been producing wine for four generations. It was during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in the 19th century that they moved from Salzburg to the southern part of the Kingdom of Hungary. They now farm 16 acres of land, including 6 acres in the Serbian wine region of Szabadka directly south of the Hungarian-Serbian border, and 10 acres in the Fruška Gora mountain district in Syrmia, Serbia, located 40 miles away from Belgrade and bordered by the Danube River to the north. VINEYARDS The vineyards are planted with old local varieties such as Mézes Fehér, Bakator, Szerémi Zöld. In the Szabadka wine region, vines are more than a hundred years old. The oldest Kadarka was planted in 1880 and is one of the oldest in the world. These vines are typically cultivated by horse and man power. The other part of the estate is in the historic region of Szerémség (Syrmia). Some ninety million years ago, the Fruška Gora mountain in Syrmia was an island in the Pannonian sea. The slopes of this old formation made up of volcanic and sedimentary rocks have been covered with vineyards, orchards and forests for about 3000 years. Today, this is an almost intact natural environment with an outstandingly rich ecosystem. The climate is sub-mediterranean and continental with a beneficial influence of the nearby Danube. One vineyard planted with Riesling is just 160 feet from the river. Maurer is the only winery producing natural wine in the region but fortunately, there is an increasing number of followers.

  • Hungary Country Profile
    Hungary Country Profile August 2019 A publication BACKGROUND Hungary became a Christian kingdom in A.D. 1000 and for many centuries served as a bulwark against Ottoman Turkish expansion in Europe. The kingdom eventually became part of the polyglot Austro-Hungarian Empire, which collapsed during World War I. The country fell under communist rule following World War II. In 1956, a revolt and an announced withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact were met with a massive military intervention by Moscow. Under the leadership of Janos KADAR in 1968, Hungary began liberalizing its economy, introducing so-called "Goulash Communism." Hungary held its first multiparty elections in 1990 and initiated a free market economy. It joined NATO in 1999 and the EU five years later. Geography: Central Europe, northwest of Romania. Total area 93 028 sq km. People: Total population is 9 850 845 and median age is 42.3 years. Economy and Infrastructure: Hungary has transitioned from a centrally planned to a market- driven economy with a per capita income approximately two-thirds of the EU-28 average; however, in recent years the government has become more involved in managing the economy. Budapest has implemented unorthodox economic policies to boost household consumption and has relied on EU-funded development projects to generate growth. The economy is largely driven by exports, making it vulnerable to external market shocks. Systemic economic challenges include pervasive corruption, long-term and youth unemployment, skilled labor shortages, widespread poverty in rural areas, vulnerabilities to changes in demand for exports, and a heavy reliance on Russian energy imports. Agriculture: Wheat, corn, sunflower seed, potatoes, sugar beets; pigs, cattle, poultry, dairy products.

Hungary (Received: 26 November 2018; accepted: 23 February 2019) Polyphenol compounds in grapes and wines are of paramount importance: they have a key role in determining wine quality, and also the benefi cial health effects of moderate red wine consumption are well-known. The polyphenol concentration of wines is determined mostly by: a) their concentration in the grapes and b) the production technology, particularly the time and type of aging. Our goal was to determine the trans-resveratrol and anthocyanin contents of Hungarian red wines under different manufacturing conditions, by monitoring the 24-month aging process – using barrique and oak barrels – with semi-annual sampling, without considering vintage. We have chosen to determine polyphenol components that could originate from either the grapes, or be produced during the wooden barrel aging. Both the aging time and the wine variety had non-negligible effects on the changes
