Antwerp Wine Experience Day: meeting of experts in great demand
A wide variety of speakers inspired the attentive participants - around 60 experts from gastronomy, retail and the press, throughout the day.
Professional speakers from both science and trade
After a brief introduction about German wine, Lars Daniëls (PersWijn, Riesling Fellow) gave a lecture on Riesling and terroir, followed by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Fischer (Head of the Institute for Viticulture and Oenology in Neustadt) who spoke about the vinification and diversity of Pinot Noir. To finish, Stefaan Soenen (PersWijn, Winetales) spoke about noble sweet Riesling wines with Prädikat.
The German Wine Experience Day will take place every two years, so hopefully the next one in 2022 will be free of Corona restrictions. There will also be another event to showcase Riesling, Pinot & Co. next year.
