  • About Wines in Prague

    Nearly four-fifths of the wines made in the Czech Republic are white wines. Despite the northerly location of the vineyards, this is also the home of some excellent red and exceptional rosé wines. The Czech Republic offers a wide range of varieties to choose from. Single variety wines are much more common than cuvée, blends of multiple varieties, although these are on the increase. The following list provides the most common varieties found in our vineyards, with additional tips about varieties which while less abundant are no less interesting.

    MAIN WHITE GRAPES 

    • Veltlínské zelené (Grüner Veltliner) was made famous in Austria and in the Czech Republic it has all it takes to provide a great refreshing white wine with its typical peppery note.
    • Müller-Thurgau offers a rather uncomplicated and easily drinkable white wine, but this is a traditional variety in the Czech Republic and one of the most widely seen, virtually all over the country.  A pleasant, lush wine with Muscat tones.
    • Ryzlink rýnský (Rhine Riesling) is a world famous variety, a noble grape yielding some of the country‘s finest wines, very popular with domestic vintners.
    • Sauvignon blanc is a world renowned variety. . These wines are made in different styles, but you can be sure to expect a fresh expression, sometimes with tones of herbs, blackcurrant or elderflower.
    • Noble wines which deserve attention are varieties of Neuburger, Sylvaner, or roter Veltliner. Many famed international varieties have also found their home here.
    • Among bottled wines we often encounter fruity Chardonnay, often the slightly sweetish Rulandské šedé (Pinot Gris) or the fragrant Gewűrztraminer

    MAIN RED GRAPES : 

    • Svatovavřinecké (St Laurent) is our most widespread blue grape variety that can produce seductively aromatic, fruity, spicy wines, ranging from the playfully accessible to the rare and refined.
    • Frankovka (Blaufränkisch) is another of the major Austrian varieties here established, but it suffered some setbacks under the previous regime and deserves more care. When properly prepared it brings a juicy classic red, much benefiting from ageing in oak caskets.
    • Zweigeltrebe, a hybrid of Svatovavřinecké and Frankovka is the most widespread variety in Austria, but on our territory also gives excellent wines, redolent of berries, softer, easy drinking.
    • Rulandské modré (Pinot Noir) is a mainstay global variety with some of the finest wines coming from Burgundy, Oregon, and California, but in the Czech Republic its tradition goes back centuries. Styles vary markedly, from the lighter strawberry-fruity wines to the more complex structured wines redolent of ripe stone-fruit, aged in wood, with the potential for aging.
    • Modrý portugal (Blauer Portugieser) typically offers a lighter, straightforward fruity red “to quench a thirst” and easy drinking. It is grown throughout the whole of Moravia and Bohemia, and wines from the Velké Pavlovice area are certainly worth sampling.
    • Also worth a taste are the scented Moravský muškát and Aurelius varieties; the red Cabernet Moravia may also be intriguing. All these are unique varieties cultivated directly in the Czech Republic.
    • Among reds, both Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are sometimes grown, of which the latter tends to be the more successful. These are mostly interesting for comparison purposes, as a local manifestation of popular world varieties; sampling is recommended.

  • Isabella was great to talk.

    “We were a group of 3 couples, and we had a delightful time with Isabella. She was prompt on pick-up from our rented flat for the tour and was personable and informative. We had beautiful weather and we spent a lovely afternoon walking 2 of the cities Vineyards and learning about Czech wines and the history of how the industry developed. Our second and last winery was Santa Clara with a lovely view of the City and an educational wine tasting. We were surprised by how good the wines were and ended up buying some for our stay.”
