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

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.
