About winemaker
The tradition of the Grmolec family winery in Moravian Slovácko dates back to 1889, when František Grmolec planted the first vine and later, together with his son Jan, started producing vine wines in one of the oldest stone cellars in Hovorany. This tradition was gradually continued by Ing. Josef Grmolec, who planted new vineyards in 1976 and 1986. In 1983, he began to build a new cellar farm. In recent years, he has been cultivating vines and making wine with his youngest son Bronislav.
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.
