About winemaker
The WALDBERG Winery operates in a sandstone cellar built in 1770 in Chvalovice by the abbot of the Premonstratensian Order as part of the Louka Monastery in Znojmo. In its time it served as a tithe cellar and is now on the list of cultural monuments. With its length of 250 metres, it is one of the largest in the Znojmo region and the wines here have optimal conditions for ripening and creating a typical varietal character.
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.
