About winemaker
The imperial cellars are part of the Horák family farm, where you can also find crop and livestock production. The farm belonged to Maria Theresa until 1918, which is why the owners chose the name Imperial Cellars - wine for the imperial court was produced here centuries ago. Today it is produced in a more traditional way, which is refreshed and facilitated by modern elements. The emphasis is on the health of the grapes and processing them as gently as possible. The white wines are aged for 8-12 months in stainless steel, while the red wines undergo 12-18 months of micro-oxidation or in barrel. The wines can be tasted in the presentation cellar in Čejč.
Basic characteristics of wine
It is said that Pinot Noir came to us in the 14th century during the reign of Charles IV. However, the authenticity of this information has never been proven. In our country, it is grown in all wine-growing subregions, the most widespread is in the Velkopavlovice and Mikulov regions. Pinot Noir from the vicinity of Mělník, Litoměřice, in Moravia from the Bzenecko and Mutěnice regions are excellent.
