About winemaker

VILAVIN is a unique, fully gravity-fed winery, unique in the Czech Republic. By using the gentle force of gravity on all six floors of the winery building, there is an ideal way of spontaneous movement of grapes, must, must and wine without the use of pumps. Gravity, a source of clean energy, is an ancient concept, but still highly relevant for premium wineries and also brings considerable energy savings. A smart winery building will continue to produce quality wine hundreds of years from now.

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.
