About winemaker

We are a family winery engaged in the production of quality and specialty wines based in Zaječí, which is part of the Velkopavlovice wine subregion. The village is situated in the southernmost corner of South Moravia, about 35 km southeast of Brno in the close vicinity of the Lednice-Valtice area. We manage 10 hectares of vineyards in the vineyard lines Růžový vrch, Nová hora and Pod Nová hora.

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.
