Moravia wine region

"country of the good wine, endless sun and beautiful girls"

Today Czech wines are among the finest in Europe and are enjoyed all over the world. Current Czech viticulture uses modern and economical technologies, with the aim of "world-best" production. Several awards received by Czech wineries from international competitions are a testament to the industry's commitment to quality wine production.

 

 

Moravian wines are characterised by a broad spectrum of aromas, rich flavours and harmonic balance, with fresh acids predominating in white wines. In recent years, red wines have started making a breakthrough as being full-bodied and distinctive due to the advances of modern wine-making technologies, while at the same time remaining soft and velvety, distinguished by pleasant fruity aromas.

In the Czech Republic the area under vine is approx. 18,000 hectares – 96% in Moravia. Wine production includes 26 white and 18 blue (red) varieties, which are registered in the National Wine-Variety Register.

The most widely planted types are Grüner Veltliner, Müller Thurgau, Saint Laurent, Welschriesling and Frankonia. Each of these varieties occupy more than 1,000 ha, which in total represents half of the Czech vineyards. There are also several domestic newly-bred varieties, for example the whites Moravian Muscat and Pálava and blue types André, Cabernet Moravia and Neronet. Annual wine consumption in the Czech Republic is around 20 litres per capita.

History

"an integral part of Czech heritage"

Charles IV.

Viticulture in the Czech Republic has a tradition that dates back over two thousand years. It is believed that the Celts were probably the first wine growers in the Czech Republic. The oldest evidence of viticultural history in Moravia is the archaeological discovery of a viticultural knife, thought to be used by a Roman legionary whilst farming vineyards around Pálava. Further information about viticulture dates back to the times of Great Moravia (ninth century to the early tenth century), from where it was introduced to Bohemia. Much of the credit for the development of viticulture in this country goes to the Czech King and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV.

 

 

Charles IV.         

The period between the 14th and 16th centuries, when vineyards surrounded Czech cities and monasteries, is considered to be the golden age of Moravian viticulture. However, major development of the industry came at the end of the 20th century. The restitution and privatisation of vineyards following the fall of communism led to the reintroduction of family winegrowing and establishment of new wineries.

Veltlínské zelené (Grüner Veltliner)

Young wines characterised by fruity tones of currant or gooseberry, later acquiring the pleasant aroma of meadow flowers. Suitable for the production of sparkling wines. Served with starters, fish meals.

Ryzlink rýnský (Rhein Riesling)

Widespread in all sub-regions thanks to its frost tolerance and superb quality predicate wines. Sometimes has a higher level of acidity. Fine, delicate scent of lime-flower, mature aromas resembling apricot, peach or pineapple. Served with starters, white meat and fine fish dishes.

Rulandské bílé (Pinot Blanc)

Wine grapes coming from limey soils show the best quality and fullness. Widespread in all sub-regions. Full-bodied wine with a mineral character and flowery aroma, which matures into the scent of pear and bread crust. Suitable with dark and spicy meat, feathered game.

Sauvignon Blanc

Very popular with some wine lovers for its distinct grassiness in young wines, with nettle and green pepper scent. Grapes grown in warm locations take on blackcurrant, gooseberry, mixed lemon and kiwi aromas during ripening. Good with asparagus, fish and seafood.

Chardonnay

Requires limey soils and an excellent location to allow grapes to mature into predicate wine quality. Cooler climates give the wine a green apple aroma with an acacia touch. Mature wines taste of honey and hazelnuts, those from warmer climates with mango, cream, banana, pineapple and canary melon. Served with white meat and fish.

Rulandské šedé (Pinot Gris)

The first of all the Burgundian varieties to ripen and has a high sugar content. Produces full wines with sweet honey and a soft orange zest touch. Higher alcohol levels and a long finish. Suitable with rich meat-and-sauce dishes and desserts.
