About winemaker

A small family winery that farms a little over 9 thousand heads of vineyard, 90 percent of which is in the Šimberky wine route. This track in the Velkopavlovice area is suitable for both white and red classic varieties. We grow Moravian Muscat, Palava, Riesling, Riesling, Walnut, Sauvignon, Sylvan Green and Veltliner. We try to make our wines in the classic way but with the help of modern technology such as the Cross-flow filter.

Basic characteristics of wine

The origin of the Blue Portugal variety is unknown but it certainly does not come from Portugal. In our country, it is actually grown everywhere, the most widespread is in Slovácko and Velkopavlovice. For example, in the Czech Republic there are great Blue Portugal wines in the Litoměřice, Roudnice or Čáslav regions, and in Moravia around Kyjov, Uherské Hradiště or Hodonín.
