About winemaker
Small family winery. Wine production has been in our family for several generations. In 1992, my father handed over a small cellar farm to me. Until September 2004 I had winemaking as a hobby. I am now a full time winemaker and viticulturist. White wines are aged on fine yeast lees, red wines are aged for a year in barrels and stainless steel tanks and at least a year in bottles. The tasting cellar, which we renovated in 2006, dates back to 1882. In 2015, we renovated the 16th century Haban cellar, where visitors can take a peek.
Basic characteristics of wine
It is said that Pinot Noir came to us in the 14th century during the reign of Charles IV. However, the authenticity of this information has never been proven. In our country, it is grown in all wine-growing subregions, the most widespread is in the Velkopavlovice and Mikulov regions. Pinot Noir from the vicinity of Mělník, Litoměřice, in Moravia from the Bzenecko and Mutěnice regions are excellent.
