About winemaker
The roots of the current Spěvák family winery date back to the 1930s. Father František's small-scale winemaking gradually grew, but from the 1970s until 1999 the winery produced only cask wines. This changed with the arrival of a new generation represented by Milan Spěvák, who continued the tradition with new ambitions. We began to focus on bottled, quality and attribute wines and in 2001 we expanded our production and storage facilities in a historic cellar that is more than a hundred years old.
Basic characteristics of wine
Pálava was cultivated by Ing. Josef Veverka by crossing the varieties Gewürztraminer and Müller Thurgau. Probably the best results are achieved mainly in the Mikulov subregion, in the vicinity of the municipalities of Perná, Pavlov or Bulhary, then in Lechovice, Popice or Čejkovice. Pálava is often automatically perceived as a sweet wine, i.e. with a higher residual sugar but this is not always the rule. In the dry version we discover the charm and beauty of this variety.
