About winemaker

Our winery was founded in 1989 and continued the family tradition. It was founded by Stanislav Hřiba Sr., later joined by his son Stanislav Hřiba Jr. and recently the founder's grandson Pavel Hřiba has been working in the winery. Together we farm our own vineyards of five hectares. In Čejkovice we have built a wine yard with a cellar, production and tasting rooms for 48 people and a guesthouse with a capacity for 8 people. We focus on the production and sale of quality cask wines and premium bottled wines.

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.
