About winemaker

The Kraus winery in Mělník is a family-owned company located at the confluence of the Elbe and Vltava rivers. Interest in winemaking is inherited in the Kraus family. The tradition was started by Prof. Ing. Vilém Kraus, CSc., who devoted himself to breeding new grape varieties. His son, Doc. Ing. Vilém Kraus, CSc., founded the company Vinařský dům Bacchus in the 1990s, which is mainly dedicated to the production of vine seedlings, grape and table grape varieties. After returning from his studies in Germany, the youngest Vilém continues the tradition and follows his father's activity with another company - Mělnické vinařství Kraus. He plants more vineyards and starts his own wine production and bottling. The grapes are harvested from his own vineyards of 22 hectares.

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.
