About winemaker

We are a small family winery that manages about 11 hectares of vineyards. We try to do all the work in the vineyard and cellar with family members. In 2014 we built a cellar with a guest house. The accommodation capacity is 27 beds. In the cellar we make part of the wines with primary aromatics and less residual sugar and the other part we make with more traditional methods - longer fermentation on the mash, blending the wines on fine lees.

Basic characteristics of wine

The variety was cultivated in Velké Pavlovice in 1960 by Ing. Jaroslav Horák from Frankovka and Saint Laurence. It was named in honour of Ch. K. André, the founder of the Association for Vine and Fruit Breeding in Brno. This is one of the reasons why we can find it especially in the Velkopavlovice subregion, however, interesting André wines are definitely also produced in the Slovácko and Mikulov regions.
