About winemaker

The wines from the Lobkowicz Chateau Roudnice are grown on unique tracks on the southern slope of Mount Sovice. The raw material is gently processed and vinified so that the terroir of our vineyards is not affected. Great emphasis is also placed on gentle handling of sulphur dioxide. Although we do not consider ourselves Autentists, most of our wines would meet their strict conditions in this respect. The siltstone bedrock and calcareous clays give the wines a unique minerality.

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.
