About winemaker
Kněží hora Winery, Bzenec "We don't make wines, we create them, and we do it with love - love for the land, for the vineyard, for the grapes, for the wine." The winery gets some of its raw materials from its own vineyards of five hectares, and some from proven Moravian suppliers, so that it can bring the rich variety of aromas and flavours to its clients. The red wines are aged in French barriques in which suitable lots are left for at least 24 months. The wines can be tasted in the stylish cellar directly below Kněží hora or in the new "tasting room" in the Tyršova Street premises.
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.
