About winemaker
The company Žernosecké vinařství s.r.o. was founded on April 1, 1995 and smoothly continued the production activities of the Wine Breeding Station in Velké Žernosky. At present, the company manages 31 hectares of vineyards and the annual production is on average 180 000 bottles of 0.75 l. After extensive renovation of the chateau and reconstruction of the entire winery premises, the company has expanded its activities to include wine tastings, corporate wine gatherings and other social events for friends of Czech wine from Velké Žernosky. We also provide accommodation directly in the chateau area.
Basic characteristics of wine
The origin of the Blue Portugal variety is unknown but it certainly does not come from Portugal. In our country, it is actually grown everywhere, the most widespread is in Slovácko and Velkopavlovice. For example, in the Czech Republic there are great Blue Portugal wines in the Litoměřice, Roudnice or Čáslav regions, and in Moravia around Kyjov, Uherské Hradiště or Hodonín.
