About winemaker
The winery Pavel Chorouš was founded in 2003 as a small producer for its own use with vineyards under lease. In 2012 the first own vineyard Lacerta was planted and in 2014 the second vineyard Phoenix followed. The current vineyard area is 1.4 ha in the Turbovická vineyard in Mělník. My flagship is the Kerner variety, with which I took first place in the white still wine category at Winefest 2007.
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.
