About winemaker
A small family winery cultivating 3.5 ha of vineyards in the cadastre of the wine-growing villages of Blatnička and Boršice u Blatnice. The wine-growing village is located in the foothills of the first spurs of the White Carpathians under the Jasenová hill with an altitude of 410 m. Blatnička is one of the highest wine-growing villages in South Moravia. The vines ripen in heavy clay soils (Carpathian clay), which is why the wines from Blatnička achieve high extractive and bouquet substances. Michal Janás Winery is a member of the Association of Integrated Grape and Wine Production. From the grapes grown, it produces the most modern technology using the method of controlled fermentation of land, quality and appellation wines.
Basic characteristics of wine
Pálava was cultivated by Ing. Josef Veverka by crossing the varieties Gewürztraminer and Müller Thurgau. Probably the best results are achieved mainly in the Mikulov subregion, in the vicinity of the municipalities of Perná, Pavlov or Bulhary, then in Lechovice, Popice or Čejkovice. Pálava is often automatically perceived as a sweet wine, i.e. with a higher residual sugar but this is not always the rule. In the dry version we discover the charm and beauty of this variety.
