About winemaker
Small family winery. Wine production has been in our family for several generations. In 1992, my father handed over a small cellar farm to me. Until September 2004 I had winemaking as a hobby. I am now a full time winemaker and viticulturist. White wines are aged on fine yeast lees, red wines are aged for a year in barrels and stainless steel tanks and at least a year in bottles. The tasting cellar, which we renovated in 2006, dates back to 1882. In 2015, we renovated the 16th century Haban cellar, where visitors can take a peek.
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.
