My unassuming Moravian roots. Made with "common" local grapes (mainly Gruner Veltliner, our signature grape, plus Welschriesling, and Muller-Thurgau) that always used to be blended together for an everyday wine. It's only logical - these varieties don't overripe easily, so the wine is low in alcohol and easy to drink, an ideal combination for a wine that's drunk in masses by the masses.
It's a wine made in a very classical way, with no maceration, just gentle press and then some time in tanks. The idea here is to have wine that you can drink with literally everyone, be they natural wine fans or haters.
The 2024 vintage brings a bit of a makeover, as you see. This time, the change is not coming from me, the eternal tweaker, but from a bottle shortage: the production of the previously used “plumpie” was discontinued so we had no option but to find another pretty liter bottles (no small feat, btw). Together with our long-term designer collaborator Klára Zápotocká we then also created a new future for the label – a minimalist black and white affair that emphasises the wines’ signature simplicity, purity and everyday vibe. (We kept the liter volume, of course, as it's an important part of Moravian wine heritage. Or you can call it “minimagnum”, like my Montréal friends.)
