About winemaker

On the edge of the village of Havraníky, near the impressive flow of the river Dyje, is our winery. The river Dyje was already famous in the period before the Celts. The people of that time named it with the Indo-European word "dheu" or "flowing". For the next hundreds or perhaps thousands of years, it retained its reputation as a river that divided but also united peoples. Whether we call it the Thaya or the Thaya today, we are paying tribute not only to this life-giving river, but also to hundreds of years of human togetherness and the uniqueness of our wine.

Basic characteristics of wine

Frankovka is a very old variety which probably originates from Austria, but it is said that it may come from Germany, France or Slovenia. In our country it is grown exclusively in Moravia, the most widespread is in Velkopavlovice and Slovácko, but the best Frankovka comes from Mikulov region.
