About Czech wine

Czech wines

There are two main wine regions in the Czech Republic – Bohemia and Moravia. At present, the area of the vineyards equals 19 thousand hectares, most of which is situated in Moravia. The top quality of Moravian white wines is known worldwide, which is reflected by numerous international awards. Moravian wines win over such winery giants as France or Germany. Wine producers in the Czech Republic are very successful in wine cultivation, too – and there is living proof of it in, for example, the newly recognised types of red wine Cabernet Moravia or André, and in white wine e.g. the Muškát moravský.

Moravian and Bohemian wines are refreshing and exceptionally varied.

Wines from the Czech Republic have become highly popular for their freshness, ready drinkability, attractive harmonic aroma and high quality. This is regularly confirmed by the awards gained at prestigious international competitions.

With a view to the relatively small size given over to vini-viticulture in the lands of the Czech Republic the local wines excel with their unparalleled diversity. Over 50 varieties are cultivated here, which is the guarantee that absolutely everyone will find their own particular favourite. What is more, a good proportion of these grape varieties have been developed right here in our country, thus these will give of their very best and make full use of the potential of our soil and climatic conditions.

The Moravian Wine Region

Moravian and Bohemian wines are of a high quality and ecological.

During the course of the past 20 years wine production in the Czech Republic has been  transformed significantly. Winemakers have bought and started to employ the most modern technology available, aimed strictly at improving the quality of wine as opposed to just achieving the greatest possible quantity, and also made a great stride forward to adopting environmentally friendly viti-vinicultural practices. One can find a huge range of organic wines and organic vineyards, but even the majority of other (non-organic) winemakers take great pains to approach the cultivation of their grapes and the production of their wine in the most ecological way. For instance, they keep the use of chemicals to the absolute minimum and the production of grapes and the wines made from them in the Czech Republic are  almost totally ecological.

Moravian and Czech wines are comprehensible.

In the Czech Republic there is a system for classifying wines according to quality based on sugar levels in the grape juice. The better the year the better the vintner can take care of the vineyard, the better the grapes ripen and the more natural sugars they will contain. „Special selection of grapes“ (modelled on the Germanic „Auslese“) is therefore wine made from riper and sweeter grapes than those used for a simple quality wine. You do not have to make your selection only according to prices.

The Moravia wine region has excellent expectations with regard to the production of wine. Here you will find wonderful white wines with an interesting spectrum of scents and spiciness aided by the typical minerality and ample structure which the vine draws from the local soils and subsoils. This play of flavours is then underlined by a refreshing crisp acidity. Their taste profile has never been lacking in the terroir essence that accompanies their fruity character. Thanks to modern technological procedures.
