About winemaker

On an area of almost 40 hectares we grow 9 white and 3 blue varieties. The flagship varieties of the winery are Riesling and Riesling Welsh, while the Burgundy varieties are Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. Work in the vineyards is mainly carried out by hand in the most gentle way. We do not overload the vines and take care of their health and nutrition all year round. Kolby was founded by Oldřich Drápal in 1997 and is now owned by the J&T Group. According to written records, the history of vine growing on Kolby Hill dates back to the reign of King Přemysl Otakar II.

Basic characteristics of wine

Veltlín Green is our most widespread variety and is grown on about 14% of the area of our vineyards. It is definitely worth trying Veltlín wine from the Znojmo, Mikulov or Velkopavlovice regions, and in Bohemia from Mělnicko, Roudnice or Most.
