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.
The variety was bred by the director of the wine school in Klosterneuburg in Austria, Dr. F. Zweigelt in 1922 and its expansion to other countries was credited after the Second World War to Dr. Lenz Moser.
