Dear interested parties in our PIWI newsletter,

Thank you for registering for the newsletter. We will inform you at irregular intervals about the latest news about PIWI.

PIWI Germany is being founded

"New paths are created by walking them."

Under this motto, a group of people interested in PIWI have come together over the past few weeks and set up the regional group PIWI Germany.
We are very happy about this development and want to build "PIWI Germany" with our joint strength. It is exactly the right time to come out more publicly. We hope that as many PIWI fans as possible will support this spirit and get involved.
With the founding of “PIWI Germany” we can contribute to strengthening PIWI internationally and, together with the other regional groups, advance the PIWI topic.

Wine competition Concours Mondial de Bruxelles:
Success for the PIWI variety Hibernal
The 27th international wine competition Concours Mondial de Bruxelles took place on September 4-5, 2020. A total of 8,500 wine samples from all over the world were evaluated. The winner of the white wines category was the PIWI Hibernal 2015 Beerenauslese from Moravian B / V Viticulture Milotice.
The Czech Republic took fifth place in the medals awarded, behind France, Spain, Italy and Portugal. According to Jiří Toman (cellar master), the wine is still very interesting, fruity and fresh after five years of aging. “If the tasters had been given the variety name during the tasting, the wine would probably not have become a champion. “The tasters presumably assigned the sample to the Sauvignon blanc from New Zealand,” says Jiri Toman.
