The first ever appellation system in the Bohemia wine region was created in 2015 in the Mělník wine sub-region. The aim of the VOC is to increase the prestige of Mělník as one of the oldest wine-growing villages in the Czech Republic. It includes three varieties - Rhine Riesling, Müller Thurgau and Pinot Noir, or a blend of the two white varieties. The grapes must be grown on approved vineyards in the areas of the municipalities of Mělník, Liběchov and Kly.
