At the very end of the busy 2022 Friends of Good Wine spring tasting block, we have a really great end to the period. The winemakers from the Dunajov Hills will be with us for another tasting of their great national tour with the "DUNAJOVSKÉ VLAŠÁK 2021 COLLECTION", with their main variety - Riesling. Simply the only and unique tasting of these beautiful wines in Brno and the surrounding area.
The Dunajov Hill Winegrowers' Association is an open association of winegrowers from the villages of Březí u Mikulova and Dolní Dunajovice, who produce wine from grapes grown in the cadastre of these two villages. The basic idea for the creation of the association was the desire to connect winemakers from the two wine-growing villages, who draw on the unique terroir of the surrounding Danube hills and to provide visitors to the villages of Březí u Mikulova and Dolní Dunajovice with a full-fledged, predominantly wine-growing experience and a comprehensive and professional service at a high level. Another objective is the joint promotion of these wine-growing villages, the cooperating winemakers and mainly their excellent wines.
The Dunajov Hills (Dunajovické kopce, Dunajovické vrchy), a national natural monument extending into the area of the municipalities of Dolní Dunajovice, Březí u Mikulova, Brod nad Dyjí and Dobré pole, cannot compete in size with the neighbouring 'big' Pálava. Qualitatively, however, it represents an equally interesting environment for growing vines. The subsoil here consists of Tertiary marine sediments, mainly calcareous claystones and sandstones, which are sometimes overlain by loess. Thanks to this unique soil, the wines from the Dunajovské Hills have a unique and unmistakable character. The winegrowers of this association can grow wines in the cadastre of the municipality of Dolní Dunajovice on the vineyards of Dunajovský vrch, Zimní vrch, Pod Slunným vrchem, Plotny, Mlynská, Kraví hora and in the cadastre of the municipality of Březí on the vineyards of Liščí vrch and Ořechová hora.
Come and taste the Riesling variety from this interesting wine-growing area - the Dunajov Hills.
