ZNOVÍN ZNOJMO, a.s. is one of the leading wine producers and vine growers, it manages 500 ha of its own vineyards in the Znojmo and Hustopeč regions, including the renowned Šobes vineyard.
The variety was cultivated in Velké Pavlovice in 1960 by Ing. Jaroslav Horák from Frankovka and Saint Laurence. It was named in honour of Ch. K. André, the founder of the Association for Vine and Fruit Breeding in Brno. This is one of the reasons why we can find it especially in the Velkopavlovice subregion, however, interesting André wines are definitely also produced in the Slovácko and Mikulov regions.
