About winemaker
On an area of almost 40 hectares we grow 9 white and 3 blue varieties. The flagship varieties of the winery are Riesling and Riesling Welsh, while the Burgundy varieties are Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. Work in the vineyards is mainly carried out by hand in the most gentle way. We do not overload the vines and take care of their health and nutrition all year round. Kolby was founded by Oldřich Drápal in 1997 and is now owned by the J&T Group. According to written records, the history of vine growing on Kolby Hill dates back to the reign of King Přemysl Otakar II.
Basic characteristics of wine
Welschreisling is an old and highly prized variety of unknown origin. It is one of the most cultivated in our country (8.5% of the total area of vineyards). Excellent terroir for "Vlašák" is offered mainly by the Pálavské vrchy, Mikulov, Slovácko and Velkopavlovice subregions or the Šobes vineyard in the Znojmo region.
