<p>The VOC P&Aacute;LAVA designation can only be awarded to wines made from the Welschriesling variety, which is characterised by its unique origin and unrepeatable originality in the P&aacute;lava region.</p>
<p>The wines must be produced only from grapes grown in registered vineyards in the area defined by the road sections between the municipalities of Pern&aacute;, Horn&iacute; Věstonice, Doln&iacute; Věstonice, Pavlov, Klentnice, Mikulov and Bavory.</p>
<h3>Vineyards</h3>
<p>Vineyards must be managed at least according to the current concept of integrated production and irrigation is not allowed. New planting of Riesling is recommended with a minimum number of 4,500 bushes/ha.</p>
<h3>Grapes</h3>
<p>The grapes must be healthy, berries with noble mould are welcome. Only hand harvesting is allowed. The wine should be shaped to a greater extent by the vineyard (terroir), with a yield per hectare not exceeding 5,000 l/ha of the vineyard in which the grapes were harvested. Wines may only be produced from grapes corresponding to the character of a quality wine with the attribute late harvest, selection of grapes. The must for wine production must have a sugar content of 21&deg; to 27&deg; according to the Standardised Must Meter. The grapes must be processed without exogenous enzymes and other macerating additives. It is important to minimise sulphurisation before fermentation, and a maximum of 50 mg SO2/l of must is allowed. The addition of ascorbic acid is not allowed. A minimum of 4 hours maceration (including pressing) is recommended to bring out the terroir.</p>

VOC Pálava

<h1><img src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/25489/1591821602-voc-znojmo.png" /></h1>
<p>The Znojmo wine sub-region introduced the first appellation system in the Czech Republic - VOC Znojmo, wines of original certification. The founders of WOC Znojmo were Ing. Jiř&iacute; Hort and Jaroslav Chaloupeck&yacute;.</p>
<p>The approval system for granting the VOC Znojmo label was successfully completed in 2009. With this step, the Czech Republic has become one of the successful market systems practising controlled origin marketing. Znojmo can now take advantage of its market opportunities as the first holder of the VOC Znojmo trademark</p>
<h3>Methods of labelling wines</h3>
<p>VOC Znojmo is the first in the Czech Republic to add a new Roman system of wine labelling to the existing Germanic system of wine labelling. The two methods now exist independently of each other, giving wine lovers more information when making wine buying decisions.</p>
<h3>Tradition of wine growing and production in the Znojmo region</h3>
<p>The Znojmo region boasts a rich wine-growing tradition; archaeological findings prove that the ancient Romans cultivated grapes in the valley of the river Dyje. For example, on the old trade route above the &Scaron;obes vineyard line you can still see the tracks of heavy Roman carriages carved into the rocky terrain.</p>
<h3>Conditions</h3>
<p>One of the reasons why the Znojmo region produces wines with original taste and legendary diversity is the stylistically varied spectrum of quality white varieties, which ranks them among the world's best white wines.</p>
<p>By choosing the right grape variety, winemakers greatly influence the potential of the terroir; it really is like a diamond that one cuts to an unprecedented beauty.</p>
<p>One of the reasons why the Znojmo region produces wines with original taste and legendary diversity is the stylistically varied spectrum of quality white varieties.</p>
<p>However, Znojemsko owes its full-flavoured and fresh aromatic white wines not only to the large number of skilful winemakers, but also to the ideal natural and climatic conditions. Cold winds from the nearby Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, together with the thermoregulatory influence of the rivers Dyje, Jevi&scaron;ovka and Jihlava, give the local wines an unmistakable spicy taste and fullness. Thanks to the alternation of sunny days and cooler nights, the grapes ripen more slowly, but retain their aromas and achieve high quality.</p>
<p>The processing and production of quality wines is carried out using modern technology that preserves most of the varietal aromatics for the future wine, but with knowledge of the value and tradition of the local terroir.</p>

VOC Znojmo

<p><img src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/25489/1591830907-voc-mikulov.png" /><br /><img src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/25489/1591823391-voc-mikulov-map.png" /></p>
<p>The first WOC appellation system in the Mikulov wine sub-region was introduced by the VOC Mikulovsko z.s., which was established in October 2004. The founders of V.O.C. Mikulovsko z.s. were Ing. Petr Marcinč&aacute;k BA, Ing. Hynek Hol&aacute;nek and Mr. Vojtěch Huserek. The demanding approval system for granting the WOC Mikulovsko label was successfully completed in 2011. The Mikulov sub-region has thus for the first time gained the opportunity to offer consumers wines with a guarantee of origin, high quality and originality confirmed by the winemakers themselves.</p>
<p>Thanks to the high quality and diversity of the vineyard routes in the Mikulov wine sub-region, the founders included six typical varieties in the appellation system, which are traditionally grown here and achieve exceptional quality. They are P&aacute;lava, Rhine Riesling, Welschriesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. The wines may only be produced from selected and registered vineyards and must have an original regional character.</p>
<h3>Conditions for inclusion of wines in the Mikulovsko VOC</h3>
<p>The Roman way of labelling is a system of looking at the quality of wine according to the place of origin of the grapes, which gives the wines a unique, unmistakable character The wines must also meet strictly defined and controlled criteria.</p>
<p>Wines with the VOC Mikulovsko are wines with guaranteed origin and quality.</p>
<p>The grapes for their production can only come from registered vineyards.</p>
<p>The wines must be produced only from grapes grown in the Mikulov wine sub-region in registered vineyards.</p>
<p>The bottling of wines can only be carried out by a member of the VOC Mikulovsko z.s.</p>
<p>Wines may be produced from grapes of a quality corresponding to that of quality wines and the must for the production of wine must have a minimum sugar content of 21&deg; according to the standardised must gauge.</p>
<p>Vineyards must be cultivated in a nature-friendly way. As a minimum, an integrated production system is required.</p>
<p>The yield must not exceed 2,5 kg per bush.</p>
<p>The grapes can only be picked by hand.</p>
<p>The wine ageing must not be carried out by the "barrique" method.</p>
<p>Apple-milk fermentation is allowed.</p>
<p>The wines will be bottled in a maximum of 0.75 l and 1.5 l bottles.</p>
<p>Bottles may only be closed with a good quality cap.</p>
<p>Wines for selection must be already bottled and are evaluated by a committee of selected tasters approved by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic.</p>
<p>The bottles must be fitted with a special tape with the VOC Mikulovsko logo and a numerical code, which is placed on the neck of the bottle and cover part of the cork.</p>
<p>Wines intended for the award of the VOC Mikulovsko designation must meet the requirements of the law.</p>
<h3>Varieties of VOC Mikulovsko</h3>
<p>Winemakers nominate only wines that meet strict conditions to the Mikulovsko VOC system; a summary of these conditions is provided in the document Conditions and Rules for Granting the Mikulovsko VOC Label. According to these rules, the tasting panels then select the most typical wines for the variety.</p>
<p>The VOC designation is similar to appellation systems used in other wine-producing countries such as France (AOC), Italy (DOC) and Austria (DAC). After the Second World War, the Germanic way of labelling wine began to take hold in some European wine-growing countries, where the attributes (quality wine, cabinet, late harvest, selection of grapes...) tell only how many degrees of sugar content the grapes from which the wine was made had. The Germanic system was introduced in Germany after World War II, in Austria in the 1970s and in the Czech Republic by a new wine law in 1994.</p>
<p>Both marking systems exist in parallel. With the introduction of the appellation (Romanesque) system, the Mikulovsko VOC in the Mikulov region is returning to the traditional wine labelling used in Moravia until the middle of the last century. Information about the quality and character of the wine is encoded for the consumer at the place of origin.</p>
<p>The VOC Mikulovsko designation is also the only way to prevent counterfeiting of Moravian wines.</p>
