About winemaker
Family-run organic winery, farming 12 ha of vineyards on Kraví hora near Znojmo. It was the first winery in the Znojmo region to introduce gravity processing of grapes in a new, but historically conceived cellar in Nový Šaldorf. In addition to traditional white, rose and red wines, it also produces special wines such as ice wines, wines aged on yeast and in oak barrels (sur lie) or liqueur wines (Šaler). Špalek Winery was awarded the "Small Winery of the Year" award in 2015.
Basic characteristics of wine
Pinot Blanc was formerly called Burgundy White. However, after the pressure of France to change the name, all these wines were renamed to Pinot, including the Burgundian whites. This variety is widespread in all six of our sub-areas, however, it can be found extensively in the Litoměřice and Slovácko regions, and it also achieves excellent results in the Znojmo and Mikulov regions.
