As a dynamically thinking person, I am in love with grapes and have been able to move a lot with and around PIWI grapes. I see my new role at PIWI International as internationalization and to establish PIWI as a brand together with local associations and winegrowers.

I worked as a specialist teacher and in the breeding of PIWI grape varieties, also in the association for ecological viticulture ALTERVIN, for twenty years I was active in the Czech Viticulture Association, AREV and COPA-COGECA. Now I am a freelance consultant and editor for the specialist journal Vinarsky obzor. At PIWI International I want to promote the internationalization of the association.

I have been working with PIWI vines all my life since 1985. I was a member of a team that imported prospective new varieties from European research institutes and also dealt with the new varieties of PIWI grape varieties. Since 1996 I have been cultivating 2.3 hectares of PIWI varieties organically and offer NATURVIN wine. My task and also the goal is to establish "PIWI - Czech Republic" in 2021!
