VINEYARDS

KONICE - KRAVÍ HORA

I organically cultivate here 0.8 hectares of vineyards of the eastern exposition with Grüner Veltliner. Kraví hora is an important vineyard route with an area of 67 hectares. The old pre-Tertiary weathered and deeply eroded surface on the edge of the Dyje massif has been flooded by the sea several times throughout history and covered by alluvium from higher areas of the mainland. The retreat of the sea restored erosion and the deep river valley was created. Here the buried rocky outcrops on the slopes of Kraví hora or on the southwestern edge of Nový Šaldorf were discovered. Sands and a large number of iron compounds are also part of the sediment. Fragments of massive bones (whale's jaw, siren's rib, crocodile's bones) as well as finer shells of mollusks were found in this location. Gravel makes up 30% of the skeleton. Altitude 260 - 338 meters above sea level, the average annual temperature is 9.1 ° C and the average annual precipitation is 520 mm.

DOBŠICE - U HÁJKU

I organically cultivate here 0.5 hectare of vineyard with Pinot blanc, Sauvignon and Pinot noir. The name of this terroir is from the near forest park. The subsoil is formed by Paleozoic deep igneous rock, mainly granitoids, gray-green granites and quartz diorites. At the time of their formation, these rocks had an alpine character. However, this surface was reduced by weathering and erosion. During the Tertiary, a shallow sea spilled into the local landscape several times, creating rich layers of Tertiary marine sediments in the form of sand and clay. In large part, there are fossilized shells. At the beginning of the Quaternary, a river flowed through here, shaping the local landscape and gravelly terraces. There are a lot of boulders from the Thaytal. The mineral composition of the rocky subsoil gives very characteristic wines.

TASOVICE - KAMENNÝ VRCH

Near the river Dyje, I cultivate a vineyard planted in 1985 with an area of 1,5 hectare. Grüner Veltliner and Sauvignon varieties. High cordon trellis in organic mode. The Tasovice wine village is located on the last borders of the Bohemian massif. Terroir Kamenný vrch is an old, long, sloping, stony slope of the Paleozoic bedrock (Kambrium) that stretches around the river Dyje. The origin is sandy loamy weathering on the granites of the Dyje massif. The altitude is 222 - 238 meters above sea level. Slope 5 - 10%. The subsoil consists mainly sand with various types of granite, gneiss and quartz.

HNANICE - FLÁDNICKÁ

In the spring of 2022, I planted here a vineyard of 0.5 hectares, southern exposure. Varietal composition Riesling, Sauvignon, Pinot noir and Zweigeltrebe. Organic mode. The dominant feature of the village Hnanice is the church of St. Wolfgang, which is built on the foundations of the original church from the 13th century. The original church was frequently visited by pilgrims, mainly because healing springs, which were located inside the church. The Fládnická terroir is in close proximity to this church and there is still groundwater in the subsoil of the vineyard route. The geological origin of this terroir is calcareous loess and sandy-clay sediments of the Carpathian foredeep. In the Late Tertiary, the area was most likely a rugged bay through which a freshwater river flowed. Windstorms in the cold periods of the Quaternary contributed to the creation of loess accumulations. The soil here is very fertile with a slightly alkaline pH.

HNANICE - KNÍŽECÍ VRCH

Beautiful vineyard, which is located in the Podyjí National Park. This is a 0.7 hectare of Welschriesling, south-eastern exposure. Year of planting 1993. The vineyard is in organic mode. Paleozoic quartz as well as Tertiary granite and gneiss are represented in the subsoil. A typical feature of this terroir is local microclimate - warm summer days and cold summer nights, alternating temperatures increase varietal aromaticity. The total area of this vineyard route is 24.4 ha. The average annual temperature is 9 ° C. The annual rainfall is 480 mm. Altitude is from 280 to 336 meters above sea level. Geological origin of calcareous loess soils on the sand-clay weatherings of the Dyje Massif.

TĚŠETICE - STARÁ VINICE

The largest vineyard which I have. It is an area of 2.3 hectares in organic mode. The varietal composition here is quite diverse - white varieties are represented by Grüner Veltliner, Welschriesling, Gewürtztraminer and Malvasia. The red varieties planted here are Blaufränkisch, Zweigeltrebe and Saint Laurent. The area around the village of Těšetice geologically belongs to the Carpathian foreland. Primarily Tertiary sandy-clay sediments and gravel-sand terraces. The cover is represented by loess with a black soil horizon. Typical here are brightly colored clay freshwater sediments, which pass into red-brown, green, red-speckled non-calcareous and faunistically sterile sandy clays. The profile of this locality was formed by Tertiary freshwater lake and river sediments.

DYJÁKOVIČKY - U SKLEPŮ

Since 2021, I have been cultivating 0,2 hectare of planted area here in the organic mode, mainly the Welschriesling, Moravian Muscat, Grüner Veltliner and Pinot noir. The vineyards around the wine village Dyjákovičky are spread over than 60 hectares of planted area. The area was geologically built by marine sedimentary units of the Carpathian. Layered calcareous clays protrude to the surface. In the Late Tertiary period, the area was a rugged bay. Windstorms in the cold periods of the Quaternary contributed to the formation of calcareous loess. The soil here is very fertile with an alkaline pH. The terroir U sklepů is set on a slightly northern slope. Historically, the Welschriesling variety has reached the highest qualities here.

DYJÁKOVIČKY - ŠÁC

I cultivate here vineyard with an area of 0.5 hectares in organic mode. The vineyard was planted in 1998 and varietals include Sauvignon, Pinot blanc, Moravian Muscat and a mixture of several red varieties. Southern exposure. The vineyard route is located close to the border with Austria, in the largest wine-growing locality of the Znojmo wine region between the villages of Vrbovec and Ječmeniště. The area was geologically built by marine sedimentary units of the Carpathian. Layered calcareous clays protrude to the surface. In the Late Tertiary period, the area was a rugged bay. Windstorms in the cold periods of the Quaternary contributed to the formation of calcareous loess. The soil here is very fertile with an alkaline pH. Altitude is 250-280 m above sea level.
