Pavel Skrášek has been involved in winemaking as a hobby since 1996. After a brief stint as a sales representative for other winemakers in Perná, he finally "gave up" his original profession as a machinist in 2000 and embarked on a professional wine career. Since his parents, mother Pavla and father Lubomír, planted 2.5 hectares of vineyards in the Bergrus area in 1993, he was able to start processing his own grapes.
The variety was cultivated in Velké Pavlovice in 1960 by Ing. Jaroslav Horák from Frankovka and Saint Laurence. It was named in honour of Ch. K. André, the founder of the Association for Vine and Fruit Breeding in Brno. This is one of the reasons why we can find it especially in the Velkopavlovice subregion, however, interesting André wines are definitely also produced in the Slovácko and Mikulov regions.
