About winemaker

Winery pod Radobýlem was founded out of love for wine in 2012. In the wine-growing region of Bohemia, in the Litoměřice sub-region, in the village of Žalhostice rises the magical hill Radobýl, whose slopes have covered vineyards for centuries since the time of Charles IV. Two enthusiasts from the North Bohemian town of Teplice are now clearing the slopes of Radobýl of woody growth and planting new vineyards to return the vines to where they historically belonged. We are a new winery with modern technology that produces quality dry wines suitable for gastronomy.

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.
