About winemaker

The origins of my winery go back to 1980, when I started making my first wines. I was always tempted by the idea of making something new. In 2003 I started to produce straw wines on a larger scale and from a greater variety of varieties. This category was new to us. I was tempted to explore new ways of making wine and to discover ways to improve the quality of straw wines.

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.
