4 | The wine-growing region Moravia

What can you expect? Wine makers and wine cellars, four wine-growing sub-regions, wide spectrum of wines, wine exhibitions, educational nature trails and wine cycling routes, vineyards of unique reputation and abundantly supplied wine stores. However, before you set off, try to browse through the following pages. This publication is intended to help you find what really interests you in the open country, on wine routes, and among vineyards and wine-growing towns and villages. We will show you the paths of wine throughout the Czech and Moravian history. Admire the beauty of old deeds and documents, historical maps, seals and town symbols. Find out about the importance of soil and climate for grape growing, about varieties grown in Moravia. Find out how to choose what you like. We will reveal you the secret of vine growing, teach you how to taste wine properly; and last but not least, we will take you to the four winegrowing sub-regions of znojemská, mikulovská, velkopavlovická and slovácká. Apart from the

basic information and maps, we provide you with a list of most interesting wine-growing destinations in each sub-region. On your visit to South Moravia, you will learn what a unique home was build to wine by Moravian wine makers in the form of decorated wine cellars. Major tourist attractions are described in information boxes entitled “...to top it all”. Finally, we will advise you where to go not to miss any of the local attractions regardless of the length of your stay, be it one day, an extended weekend or a week-long journey. In order to truly enjoy your journey to wine with all the delights it brings, we also provide dates of interesting wine-making events that should not escape your attention. However, it would be a strange journey to wine without wine makers opening you the doors of their wine cellars and offering you wine tasting in their cosy atmosphere.Their contacts as well as contacts of wine cellars and wine stores can be found in this guide or in the tourist information centres that are listed at the end of this publication. The up-to-date list is available at www.vinazmoravy.cz, www.wineofczechrepublic.cz.

In numbers, the wine-growing region of Moravia includes 16,536 hectares of vineyards which represent 96 % of registered vineyards in the whole Czech Republic. The remaining 4 % are found in the wine-growing region of Bohemia. The Moravia wine-growing region is the area with the oldest grape growing and wine making tradition in the country. It lies between the 49th and 48th parallel and includes more than 312 wine-growing municipalities and 1,126 vineyard sites farmed by almost 19,000 wine growers. The average annual temperature is 9.42 °C and average precipitation reaches 510 mm. Vegetation period is shorter than in Western Europe, however, in the majority of years it excels in higher thermal intensity of summer months what enables growing those grape varieties that mature later. Maturation is slower and therefore the grapes contain more aromatic agents. The Moravia wine-growing region is divided into four sub-regions: Znojemská, Mikulovská, Velkopavlovická and Slovácká.

THE LAND OF WINE SERIES The publication that you are holding in your hands is a part of a large project focused on wine tourism. Cooperation of the National Wine Centre, Winegrowers’ Fund of the Czech Republic, Southern Moravia Region, Tourist Authority South Moravia and the Partnerství (Partnership) beneficiary society brought the edition, which will reliably guide you through the wine-growing regions of the Czech Republic – the Moravia wine-growing region and the Bohemia winegrowing region. The edition also involves maps of individual wine-growing sub-regions in Moravia with an overview of the most interesting places, events and the biggest wineries. Selected materials are available in English. www.vinazmoravy.cz

HISTORY AND THE PRESENT BACK TO THE ROMANS In search of the beginning of the journey to wine, one has to travel to the Caspian Sea area more than 5,000 years ago. Here the vine started its triumphant campaign throughout the world, and since then it accompanied humans on their wandering through life, regardless of race or religion. Vine spread to Asia Minor, Palestine, China and India; the Egyptians grew grapes along the Nile and its delta; and ancient Babylonians, Greeks and Etruscans also knew wine. In Moravia, the beginnings of viticulture are connected with the Romans. At first, the Romans preferred higher quality wines imported from Greece, however, wine growing gradually became established in the Apennines as well. In the 3rd century AD, during the reign of Marcus Aurelius Probus, Roman soldiers started to plant vineyards close to their camps also in colonies north of the Alps. One of the Roman legions, Legio Decima Gemina Pia Fidelis from Vindobona, then built a base on the Roman Hill under Pálava

FROM THE 30 YEARS‘ WAR TO THE 19TH CENTURY Before the Thirty Years‘ War wine growing experienced its golden age; in Moravia there were about 20,000 ha of vineyards, and 15,000 ha in Bohemia. Especially in fecund years, the home wine market felt too small. The growth was, however, interrupted by the Thirty Years‘ War: a half of the vineyards disappeared and was never restored. Some old and neglected vineyards were newly planted only by

where the Nové Mlýny reservoirs are located now. The archaeological investigations in 1926 revealed not only stone foundations of the Roman military camp, but also a 28 cm long vineyard knife – a possible proof of first vineyards in South Moravia. With the departure of the Roman legionaries, the art of viticulture had disappeared for long years and further reports on wine growing date back to the time of Slavic settlement.

VITICULTURE IN THE TIME OF GREAT MORAVIA A blossoming place, rich in vineyards and inhabitants – this is the reputed description of one of the Great Moravian towns by the Arabian traveller Idrisi

who visited the area of today‘s Moravia and Slovakia at the turn of the 9th century. These words applied to the Great Moravian settlement in Mikulčice, considered one of the centres of the empire. Not only

vineyard knives and other tools were discovered there, but also stones of wild forest vine as well as of its cultivated variant. Although wine consumption was the privilege of the highest circles, excavated foundations of eleven churches at the Mikulčice settlement and its surroundings indicate wine was produced primarily for liturgical purposes. In the early Middle Ages, the development of Moravian viticulture was influenced by some monastery communities, especially Cistercian monks who came from the wine region of Burgundy. It was especially the Cistercians from Velehrad who started to grow wine in compact vineyard sites, but also the Dominicans from Brno, Benedictines from Rajhrad, Templars from Čejkovice, and Premonstratensians who founded the Louka Monastery near Znojmo at the end of the 12th century.

the end of the 17th century. Future development of wine growing in Moravia was guaranteed by the fact that besides the big wine cellars of monasteries and manor houses, wineries were also being established by small rural wine makers. Wine growing started to blossom again only after the Napoleonic wars. In 1820, in Moravia there were 29,801 ha of vineyards,

THE 20TH CENTURY AND THE PRESENT The only reliable protection against phylloxera was grafting buds of cultivated European vines onto American rootstocks that not only created a thick web of roots, but their sour juices repelled the insects. At that time, the first regional and state vine nurseries were established in order to produce grafted plants and rootstocks. However, despite all these measures, it was not possible to restore the original extent

GOLDEN MIDDLE AGES The ancient traditions were continued by Emperor Charles IV who had the young vine plants brought from Burgundy (village of Chambertin), imbedded in honey not to get dry during the journey. The plants were accompanied by French wine growers who taught the Czechs to take care of vine and make wine. Vineyard and wine codes, i.e. the sets of viticultural common law and legal norms, were also further elaborated at that time. South Moravia municipalities adopted vineyard law from Austrian Falkenstein. In 1351, John Henry, the Moravian Margrave ordered vineyard disputes to be arbitrated by the local mayor office in Hustopeče instead of in Lower Austria; and he also issued a model vineyard code for Moravia in 1355. This code became a model for a similar document issued by Charles IV in 1358. The emperor suggested planting vineyards at suit6 | The wine-growing region Moravia

able places in Bohemia and exempted their founders from taxes for 12 years. The first book on wine growing written in Czech by a Prague teacher Jan Had in 1558 describes varieties grown at that time, for example, Vídeňka (Weisser Heunisch), Běl (Gelber Heunisch), Klenice (Goher), Muškatel (White Muscat), Němčina (Pinot Gris), Bronišť (White Traminer) and Topol (Běloočko).

and 2,576 in Bohemia; the area, however, declining unstoppably in following years. At the end of the 19th century, another threat appeared – pests – mites and fungal diseases such as peronospora (downy mildew) and oidium (powdery mildew). A disaster for European viticulture presented especially phylloxera, an insect attacking vine roots. This pest was first discovered in Europe in 1860 and damaged only in France more than a million hectares of vineyards. In the Bohemian lands, phylloxera appeared at the turn of 20th century in Šatov (Znojmo region), gradually affecting vineyards in the whole of Moravia and, during the next decade, decimating most of them irrecoverably.

of vineyards. Only at the end of the 20th century we can speak about further development of wine growing. A single decade was enough for Moravian and Czech wines to catch up with the progress that took several decades in other European countries. Restitution of vineyards and wide privatization led to restoration of traditional family wineries as well as establishment of new companies. Considerable changes were brought by the 1995 Wine Act and

the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union. Thanks to substantial investment in modern technological equipment and new approaches in vineyard care with emphasis on quality rather than crop quantity, the quality of wine considerably improved. The Moravian and Czech wine makers were, moreover, able to react promptly to the European taste. This is reflected in the range of produced quality wines with designation of origin that are able to gain recognition at international markets and win a number of awards at renowned world exhibitions. Although the varietal composition of vineyards remains substantially domestic, local wine producers are able to respond successfully to unstable world trends. A hundred of the best wines awarded in the annual The Wine Salon – national wine competition of The Czech Republic can be found at a permanent wine-tasting exhibition in Valtice. Also in the Czech Republic, wine became part of the modern lifestyle. Its popularity is further supported by wine tourism and special programmes focused on discovering the individual wine-growing areas. The consumption of wine has increased to about 20 litres of wine per person a year in the Czech Republic recently, causing an increase in the area of local vineyards. With the support of the state and the Wind Fund, the total area of vineyard sites has grown from 12,000 to more than 17,000 ha, planted mostly in Moravia. www.vinazmoravy.cz | 7

LAND OF WINE VARIETIES One of the reasons why South Moravia gives birth to wines of original taste and renowned diversity is the unusually rich varietal composition. In local vineyards, it is possible to find 30 varieties of white wines and 26 red varieties listed in the State Book of Varieties. However, one shall not forget that this wide range of Moravian wines is also influenced by the combination of natural conditions and work of human hands. In the Czech Republic, there are more than 700 registered wineries from big companies to small family firms, and thousands of small private wine makers. Therefore, the resulting style of individual wines is not determined only by terroir, diverse terrain, differing soils and microclimate but also by the wine maker with his invention, experience, and application of traditional methods or new trends. In other words, original Moravian wines are everything but insipid and mediocre.

MOST FREQUENT VARIETIES List of white wines – Hibernal – Chardonnay – Irsai Oliver – Müller Thurgau – Muškát moravský (Moravian Muscat) – Muškát Ottonel – Neuburské (Neuburger) – Pálava – Rulandské bílé (Pinot Blanc) – Rulandské šedé (Pinot Gris)

Veltlínské zelené (Grüner Veltliner)

Müller Thurgau (Müller Thurgau)

The aromas and tastes of the green-yellow wine reveal the composition of the vineyard‘s soil. Sometimes it is the aroma of linden flowers that prevails, or of bitter almonds; sometimes the character is spicy, tones of green pepper.

A variet y frequent in all northern wine-growing areas in Europe and overseas. Wines of a green-yellow colour and muscat-fruity aroma with tones of grapefruits or peaches are best young and fresh.

Ryzlink rýnský (Riesling)

Ryzlink vlašský (Welschriesling)

One of the best quality varieties for white wines is grown all over the world. The wines stand out with a wide spectrum of aroma tones resembling linden blossom, peaches, apricots or pineapple according to the soil type and a year.

This fresh green-yellow wine with a medium-full taste and spicy acid is the most frequent variety in the Mikulov area. Fruit tones of black currant or gooseberry prevail, later the aroma of meadow flowers.

Sauvignon (Sauvignon Blanc)

Rulandské bílé (Pinot Blanc)

Significant, globally widespread variety, originally probably from France. It is popular for its variety of scents – from grassy nettle tones over blackcurrant, gooseberry to the scent of peach or exotic passionflower.

Classical variety of French origin, spread over whole Europe, gives elegant wines with a gentle aroma of flowers. In mature wine you can discover aroma of pears, bread crust and hazelnuts.

Svatovavřinecké (Saint Laurent)

Frankovka (Blaufränkisch)

The most frequent red variety in the Czech Republic providing velvety bright dark red wines of harmonic taste, smelling of a sour cherry, black currant or prune, with a distinct and full taste.

The blue variety grown especially in Central Europe. Wines have light and dark ruby colour with purple sparks, in the matured vintages you can reveal a typical pleasant spiciness and blackberry aroma.

LAND OF WINE CLASSIFICATION OF WINES MADE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC Wine classification system in the Czech Republic is based on ripeness of grapes determined by measuring the sugar content in grape juice at the time of harvest. The “°NM” abbreviation stands for degrees of the standardized mustmeter; 1 degree corresponding to 1 kilogram of natural sugar in 100 litres of must.

VÍNO (WINE) The lowest wine category made from grapes grown in any EU country.

ZEMSKÉ VÍNO (REGIONAL WINE) Wines made from local grapes only, with a minimum of 14 °NM of sugar content that can bear a label stating the area of origin, vintage and grape variety.

JAKOSTNÍ VÍNO... (QUALITY WINE) Wine made from local grapes, grape mush or must with a minimum of 15 °NM. Wine must be produced in the wine-growing area of the origin of grapes. It can be marked by the statement:

...odrůdové (Quality varietal wine) Wine made from the grapes or grape must combine at most 3 vine varieties listed in the State variety list or varieties permitted in the EU.

...známkové (Quality branded wine) Wine produced by combining grapes, grape must or wines according to a constant formula.

JAKOSTNÍ VÍNO S PŘÍVLASTKEM... (QUALITY PREDICATE WINE...) Grapes must meet all requirements for the production of quality wines and come from one winegrowing sub-region. No beet or any other sugar can be added to the must. Wines of higher degrees are intended especially for festive occasions or storage.

…kabinetní víno (…Kabinett wine) Light, dry wines pleasant to drink made from grapes of 19 °NM of sugar content.

…pozdní sběr (…Late harvest) Quality dry or semidry wines made from grapes harvested with 21 °NM of sugar content.

…výběr z hroznů (…Selection from grapes, Auslese) Full extractive wines with a higher alcohol content and sometimes also a higher residual sugar content made from very ripe grapes with min. 24 °NM of sugar content.

…výběr z bobulí (…Selection from berries, Beerenauslese) Full-bodied and extractive, semi-sweet or sweet wine is produced from grapes that matured for a long time in the vineyard and reached the sugar content at least 27 °NM.

…ledové víno (…Ice wine) Rare, very sweet wine made by pressing frozen grapes harvested at a temperature of minimum –7 °C, the must of which has to have at least 27 °NM of sugar content. Grapes must not defrost during pressing. Thus, part of the water stays in berries in the form of ice crystals and the pressed must is very concentrated.

10 | The wine-growing region Moravia

…slámové víno (…Straw wine) Aromatic sweet wines made from well-ripened grapes that are dried on straw or reed mats or hung-up in a well-ventilated space for at least 3 months after harvest. This causes water to evaporate from berries and extractive substances to concentrate in the juice. The must has to reach at least 27 °NM of sugar content. You can already press after 2 months, if the sugar content of the must has reached at least 32 °NM.

…výběr z cibéb (…Selection from raisins, Trockenbeerenauslese) Very extractive, sweet and rare wine made from grapes with minimum 32 °NM of sugar content. Thanks to an extremely long period of ripening, berries in these grapes usually turned into raisins.

WINE OF ORIGINAL CERTIFICATION (V. O. C., VOC) The acronym VOC 1st appeared in the domestic wine world in 2009. Wine-growing sub-region znojemská 1st introduced the appellation system in the Czech Republic, a classification system according to place of origin, common for example in France and Italy. This mark is carried by only the 3 most typical wines from Znojmo varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Grüner Veltliner or their cuvée. Winemakers must meet a number of important conditions for the placement on the VOC wine classification system. Taste can not be disguised by a barrique barrel, high residual sugar, alcohol content higher than the 13.9 % or by long lying on the yeast. Before the wine is marked with the VOC symbol, the band around the bottle neck, it goes through rigorous quality control – so you get exactly what you expect, really good and well made wines with a typical Znojmo taste and aroma. The VOC Modré hory was born in 2011. Designation covers only the 3 most typical wines from red varieties of this region, Blaufränkisch, Saint Laurent and Blauer Portugieser. As elsewhere, here wine must also meet a number of strictly controlled VOC conditions, the emphasis is on geographic origin and terroir, the grapes for production must come only from certain trails and 5 Modré Hory municipalities – Bořetice, Kobylí, Němčičky, Velké Pavlovice or Vrbice, red wines must then mature a year and a half in wooden barrels. The winemakers from the Mikulov neighbourhood began to mark their wines under the so-called „terroir“ after Znojmo and Modré Hory in 2011. VOC Znojmo is focused exclusively on the 3 white varieties and groups, VOC Modré Hory on 3 typical red wine varieties. Mikulov winemakers included wine under the original certification of 6 varieties at the same time (Riesling and Welschriesling, Pinot Blanc, Gris and Noir and Pálava). The 4th appellation system, association VOC Pálava, was approved by the Ministry of Agriculture in July 2012. The system includes a single variety – Welschriesling, from the highest position of Pálava near Horní and Dolní Věstonice, Pavlov, Klentnice, Mikulov and Bavory.

MORAVIAN WINE ROUTES

www.vinarske.stezky.cz THE MORAVIAN WINE ROUTE The red-marked spinal route of the Moravian wine trails connects the ancient town of Znojmo with Uherské Hradiště, the metropolis of Slovácko. The 285 km long arterial road passes through all the Moravian wine-growing sub-regions and crosses 7 out of the 10 local wine route circuits. 70 winegrowing municipalities and 10 protected nature areas are located along the route.

THE BRNO WINE-GROWING ROUTE The route starts in Moravany and connects the Moravian metropolis with routes of the sub-regions znojemská and velkopavlovická. It is 130 km long and takes the cyclists for example to Dolní Kounice where excellent red wines are grown, to the Jihlava River valley, the Jihlava River Plain National Park or the Nové Mlýny reservoirs.

YEAR WITH WINE

A unique 1,175 km long network of marked cycling routes interlacing all South Moravian wine-growing sub-regions. The project, coordinated by the Partnerství Foundation, involves 230 wine-growing villages and towns. Maps containing information about the route length, altitude profile and road surface are available for each individual circuit as well as the spinal Moravian Wine Route. Information boards and signposts with pictograms identify points of interest and services along the way.

THE KYJOV WINE-GROWING ROUTE The northernmost, 85 km long route with a rougher hilly profile presents a challenge for capable cyclists. The route follows the gently undulating Kyjov Highlands and the Chřiby foothills, passing by several lookout points. Several of its branches are connected with routes passing through the neighbouring areas of Bzenec, Velké Pavlovice and Mutěnice.

THE UHERSKÉ HRADIŠTĚ WINE-GROWING ROUTE

THE ZNOJMO WINE-GROWING ROUTE The longest route connecting nearly 60 winegrowing towns and villages on 165 km of length. This route is not a closed circuit, but it passes through the most interesting places of the Znojmo wine-growing sub-region. The area along the Dyje River offers flat road sections and fine roads between fields and vineyards. Lovers of rougher terrains will enjoy the Podyjí National Park.

For successful wondering to wine we recommend to get maps from our Wine Region series or directly from the Partnerství Foundation project.

THE VELKÉ PAVLOVICE WINE-GROWING ROUTE

The northern part of the 110 km long, richly branched route leads through a border wine-growing area with attractive terrain and lookout points. From Velké Pavlovice, a lively wine tourist area with a number of open wine cellars, the route continues via the vale of Dolnomoravský úval around the Nové Mlýny reservoirs to the Lednice-Valtice Composed Landscape.

YEAR WITH WINE January

February

March

April

If the weather is nice, work in the vineyard starts with vine pruning which usually ends in February. In the winery, wine is being prepared for bottling – it is treated.

Machines are maintained, plants obtained for planting. Wine is racked into smaller barrels, empty barrels are washed and treated. In the vineyard, it is necessary to finish the pruning.

Spring in the vineyard starts with ploughing the soil that protected individual vine plants in winter. The soil is cultivated, shoots are tied to the wire support, and other small tasks are carried out.

In addition to routine work in the vineyard, wine makers evaluate wines, discuss them and take part in local and regional wine exhibitions. Most of the wine has already been treated and is prepared for bottling.

May

June

July

August

Wine growers treat young vines and fight the pests by careful spraying. They hope for a lot of sun so the vineyards will finish blossoming successfully. It is necessary to cultivate the soil and remove the weeds.

The vegetation period begins – after lush blossoming shoots appear. Wine growers tuck in the summer shoots and remove the lateral shoots.

By pruning the shoots and excess grapes wine growers reduce the load on the vine plants and save their energy for the production of healthy fruit. It is necessary to weed and spray the vineyard.

The wineries prepare for the upcoming harvest. Inspection in the vineyard is full of expectations. In ideal weather conditions the first harvest can start at the end of August.

THE MIKULOV WINE-GROWING ROUTE In the south the route passes through the Lednice-Valtice Composed Landscape, it is 84 km long and quite flat, reaching the highest point at the Rajstna colonnade from where it follows the Austrian-Czech border as far as Nový Přerov. In the north it leads through places of the oldest human settlement, the wine-growing region of Pálava and the surroundings of the Nové Mlýny reservoirs.

THE PODLUŽÍ WINE-GROWING ROUTE The route through the flatland of Podluží is 115 km long, with asphalt roads alternating with dirt roads. In several places it is possible to admire rural architecture of cellars. The southern part of the route leads to two well-known Slavic settlements of Pohansko and Valy u Mikulčic; the northern part enters the forested area of Dolňácko near Kyjov.

THE BZENEC WINE-GROWING ROUTE The shortest, only 26 km long route follows mostly roads of the 3rd class via the hilly area of the Kyjov Highlands, and near Bzenec and Vracov it enters the vale of Dolnomoravský úval. The circuit is connected to the Kyjov, Uherské Hradiště and Strážnice wine routes, and part of the route is parallel to the spinal Moravian wine route. 12 | The wine-growing region Moravia

An ideal route for a day-long family trip is 75 km long and leads through a gently undulating hilly area along quiet roads and cycling trails. The heart of the route is Uherské Hradiště, the metropolis of Slovácko, from where it heads to Kostelany. In other directions, it is possible to continue to Polešovice along the Morava River or to the south to a spa town of Ostrožská Nová Ves and to Dolňácko.

THE MUTĚNICE WINE-GROWING ROUTE The Mutěnice area forms the border between the northern and southern Moravian wine-growing sub-regions. The mostly flat, 65 km long route through the gently undulating landscape of the Kyjov Highlands can be divided into two smaller circuits following well passable consolidated dirt roads. There are several short climbs leading to nice lookout points.

THE STRÁŽNICE WINE-GROWING ROUTE A 101 km long, winding road leading mostly along quiet roads, with about 20 km of consolidated or grassy dirt roads. The flat route rises up only in the White Carpathians foothills and in several parts of the Hlucká Higlands. Thanks to its rich branching, the route connects the Strážnice region with Podluží, Uherské Hradiště and Bzenec wine routes.

SEPTEMBER – VINTAGE Grape harvest is the most important part of the wine grower‘s year. Schedule of harvesting both early and late-season varieties is determined according to weather; ideally, with the content of natural sugars and acids in optimal ratio. From vineyards, the grapes are carefully transported to the winery where they are destalked and crushed.

October

December

While some stum are already fermenting in cellars, late-season varieties are just harvested. Wine growers watch over the grapes intended for ice wine production.

In vineyards, soil is ploughed to the plants to protec t them from freezing during winter months. In the winery, wine makers treat and rack wine; some young wines are already prepared for the Christmas table. First young wines are blessed on November 11, St. Martin‘s day.

WINE-GROWING SUB-REGION

ZNOJEMSKÁ The westernmost Moravian wine-growing sub-region is proud of its full-bodied and fresh aromatic white wines that are born here thanks to the many excellent wine-makers and the ideal climate conditions. Cold winds from the Highlands together with thermoregulating effects of the Dyje, Jevišovka and Jihlava rivers give the local wines the unmistakable spicy taste and full body. Thanks to the alteration of sunny days and cool nights the grapes mature slower, however, they maintain aroma and reach top quality. Elegant white wines are represented e.g. by Veltlínské zelené (Grüner Veltliner) that used to be popular in the Viennese Emperor’s court at the time of Viennese waltzes, very popular also are Müller Thurgau, Ryzlink rýnský (Riesling) and Sauvignon Blanc. The share of blue varieties is smaller; famous are especially Svatovavřinecké (Saint Laurent) and Frankovka (Blaufränkisch) from Dolní Kounice. The Znojmo Region similarly as the Mikulov Region has an ex traordinar y rich wine growing tradition – the archaeological findings prove that already the old Romans used to grow grapes in the Dyje River valley. The rocks above the Šobes vineyard still show the visible tracks after the heavy Roman carriages which used to go on the trade route. The medieval traditions are reminded during the annual Znojmo Historic Vintage Festival with several days of celebrations with fairs, knight jousting and rich parades in costumes. The Znojmo wine-growing sub-region introduced a VOC appellation system as the 1st in the CR. Only the 3 most typical wines from Znojmo varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, carry this mark. They enter the market in early May at the Wine Festival VOC Znojmo.

PAINTED WINE CELLAR – wine cellar decorated with fantastic sculptural paintings excavated in the sandstone slope above Šatov down the road to Havraníky. Although the Painted wine cellar is a wine cellar, wine was never produced or even stored here. It should have served as a private wine room and a place to relax. Both sides of the main halls and walls of the 5 adjacent lounges are decorated with colourful sculptural paintings of mermaids, dwarfs, alpine landscapes and other motifs, created by Maxmillian Appeltauer, a šatovský native. He worked in the Painted wine cellar Sunday after Sunday for 36 years and was even injured in the Second World War, when he lost an arm, which did not stop him. He was holding a container of paint in the left armpit, a brush in the right hand and by the candles attached to his hat, which lit the area in front of him.

INTERVIEW

WINE EXPERIENCES

We always serve wines from Moravia and Bohemia at the embassy

JUDr. MARIE CHATARDOVÁ The life journey of Znojmo native Marie Chatardová is literally stunning. A girl from a small town that wanted to be a teacher or a ballerina became a recognized diplomat. She spent her first 9 years in Znojmo then moved to Brno. There she studied at a grammar school and then at the law faculty of Masaryk university, where she earned a doctorate in 1985. She is an ambassador in France and Monaco currently, at the same time the Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic to the International Organization of Francophonie. Your life is very colourful. You were born in Znojmo, then you lived as ambassador in Sweden for 5 years, you are ambassador in France now. Do you feel everywhere is “at home”? To ensure that a person would feel at home everywhere, they need to know where they belong, where they have their roots. And they must like to return there. I have such a background, so I have never had a problem to live temporarily elsewhere. Do you sometimes remember the picturesque environment of Znojmo where you grew up? I remember Znojmo and its surrounding, these are the memories of my childhood and they are beautiful: weekends at Grandma‘s, where the extended family met, trips to Bítov, Vranov, walks along the Dyje, dulcimer music in the wine cellars. When I worked as the director of the diplomatic protocol, of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we organized a sightseeing stay for foreign ambassadors accredited in the CR to the South Moravian Region, which included a stop in Znojmo and tasting of Moravian wine. Do you currently have an opportunity to listen to traditional dulcimer music? I do not have much opportunity to listen to dulcimer music, but I try to present it abroad, because I consider it to be a strong part of our cultural heritage. So dulcimer music was played during the reception for the National Day of the CR, which I held in Stockholm and Paris. The responses have been only positive. 24 | wine-growing sub-region znojemská

France is a wine-growing power and its wines are considered to be top quality. Does the Czech Embassy also serve Czech wines? We served to the foreign guests at the embassy always only Moravian and Bohemian wines in my time in Sweden and France. I believe that they are already so good that we should not be ashamed. When invited guests say that we have not only great beer but also wine, I am very happy. I also give wine as gifts. Simply – I use every opportunity to promote our winery! Is there some local Moravian wine – which is by the area that it comes from or by its variety something that is a “matter of the heart”? No, I like all good Moravian wine, I prefer a dry white. In addition to traditional varieties, I am discovering new ones. If you had the opportunity to chat over a glass of good wine with some outstanding person, who would it be? My profession means talking with exceptional people and personalities from all the realm quite often, it is one of the positive aspects of diplomacy. I look forward to each such meeting. At the same time I appreciate the moments when I can be with my family. I like to talk with them over a glass of wine. (with my youngest son over a glass of juice). If you are in the CR with your family, where do you go to the most in your free time? Would you recommend a place in South Moravia that is worth a visit for its atmosphere? When we have little time, we go for a walk to Petřín and Prague Castle. When we have more time, we go to the woods around Prague. And when we find a whole weekend, we go to visit parents in Brno, or extend the journey to Znojmo or Mramotice, where we have relatives. The feeling of the unique atmosphere of South Moravia is, for me, connected with the fact that I grew up there. So the corners where I like to go are not necessarily the most touristically interesting. There are many beautiful places in South Moravia, the ideal combination of history, nature, good food and drink, nice people.

ZNOVÍN ZNOJMO AND LOUKA MONASTERY ZNOJMO Znovín Znojmo based in Šatov manufactures and sells dry and semi-dry varietial wine, late harvest wine, selections from grapes and berries, ice and straw wine, and sparkling wine using the classic method of fermentation in the bottle.

WINERY HORT One of the most famous current Moravian winemakers is Jiří Hort from Dobšice near Znojmo. His rose wines are collecting awards from numerous exhibitions. They are also among the best wines on the domestic market. He also stood at the birth of the 1st appellation system in Moravia – VOC Znojmo. The winery Hort has a special philosophy – believe it

The wine specialty of the winery is Chardonnay sur lie, which matures in barrique barrels and is placed on the market without filtration. A novelty is grape musts without artificial preservatives for children. Winery Hort owns 3 cellars in Dobšice.

The winemaker from Dobšice chooses the varieties of the best locations across Southern Moravia and throughout the year personally oversees the work in the vineyards. This winery, founded in 1999, produces about 80,000 bottles annually.

WINE CELLARS AND WINE STORES Arte Vini Vini Arte aims to offer the best quality wines, which are based on the best traditions of Moravian viticulture and winemaking. Back to our motto “The Art of Wine Craft”. The vineyards are farmed organically and in balance, we use a high proportion of craftsman work and natural processes in the cellar. Wine labels are adequately and artistically depicted. We label our wine “Moravian land wine” as a reminder of Moravian traditions. It is very important for us to use ancient local varieties such as Grüner Veltliner, which its first occurrence was documented under the name “Manhartsrebe” in Znojmosko.

A traditional family winery, emphasizing vine growing quality and wine production quality. The winery was begun by old man Špalek in 1945, when he moved here with his family from Valašsko because of Sudeten settlement. The winery was for a long time just our hobby. We started making wine professionally in 1992. We focus on a smaller wine batch with typical expression for each variety. We are currently moreover trying to make wine as they did over 100 years.

Pálava, the place with unrepeatable atmosphere stands out sharply from the slightly undulating countryside of the swamp forests by the lower Dyje River. The hillsides of limestone rocks are covered by the thick drifts of loess and calcareous clay, the southern part is characterised by thick layers of sand. Deep loess soil offers the vine a source of a wider spectrum of aliments for the aroma agents and more distinct tones of extract. Therefore, Pálava gives wines with completely different character than other sub-regions and it is an ideal place within the North Panonia lowland. Already the Roman soldiers appreciated that fact and established the first Moravian vineyards. The wine-growing sub-region mikulovská is famous for Ryzlink vlašský (Welchsriesling), which despite of its name has nothing in common genetically or historically with Ryzlink rýnský (Riesling), and it doesn’t originate in Italy either. In Pálava it gives fresh wines with a higher content of pleasant acids and the unmistakable mineral content. Müller Thurgau and Chardonnay do well there too. The soil with more clay in the Dunajovice Hills is suitable for the typical Mikulov variety – Veltlínské zelené (Grüner Veltliner). The Valtice region is also ideal for Neuburské (Neuburger) and Sylvánské zelené (Sylvaner Green). The environs of Pouzdřany give excellent Ryzlink r ýnsk ý (Riesling), Tramín (Traminer) and Pálava. Red wines are represented by Svatovavřinecké (St. Laurent), Zweigelt and Frankovka (Blaufränkisch); newly planted French varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have a promising future there. You can follow the brand VOC Mikulov from 2011 when choosing a Mikulov wine. It marks the wines made from six typical varieties produced under established rules. There are many places you must visit. Significant towns connected with wine are Valtice with the famous Wine Salon of the Czech Republic and the Mikulov chateau with an interesting wine-growing exhibition with a giant wine barrel. The real pearl is the Lednice-Valtice Composed Landscape, enrolled in the UNESCO World Heritage List as the largest artistically composed landscape in the world.

INTERVIEW

WINE EXPERIENCES

Genius loci Mikulov is the inspiration of my life

MARTIN MYSLIVEČEK Czech classical guitarist, musical organizer and music teacher Martin Mysliveček was born in Prague in 1950. He studied guitar at the Brno Co n s e r va t o i r e u n d e r Professor Arnošt Sádlík for six years, after that he went to German Výmar to the High Music School of Franz Liszt. He has worked with many leading Czech instrumentalists and ensembles, and played throughout all of Europe, and North and South America. Currently he is a professor at the Music University in Austrian Graz, and at the Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Brno. He has been one of the main organizers of the International Guitar Festival in Mikulov since 1987. You have had a lot of successful concerts and records. How does the audience perceive contemporary classical music? Has anything changed since the time you started? The audience has evolved, I think, considerably matured as society has developed over the last twenty years. It has much greater knowledge, access to top performers, it’s more educated, I think. It has been said about you that you have that rather rare ability of capturing the content and style of the works you interpret. Is it important for the recital to be able to empathize with the music? If you do not empathize with the piece or with music at all – and this is a concept that means something different to everyone – you will hardly be in a position to be able to pass on anything via the music. It is an essential part of the creative process for me. You were behind the creation of the International Guitar Festival. What can you say after twenty six years of its success in South Moravia? The Guitar Festival was created in collaboration with my classmates and friends – Olga Dvorská and Stanislav Juřic. The festival idea was partly born from my experience of similar events around the world. It was clear that we needed

44 | wine-growing sub-region mikulovská

for our classical guitar discipline a place for meetings and “recharging” in the country. When the festival originated, the communist regime seemed it would last forever, rather than two years, as it turned out later. So for us, I mean especially guitar specialists, it was the only way to enable contacts to access information and have an opportunity to hear top world guitar. Not only for us but for many other people from Mikulov and all of the country. That the festival is in Mikulov is mainly due to the then director of the music school in Mikulov, Mr. Kameník, who willingly offered the school building to the festival. Although your current residence is in Graz, you travel to picturesque Mikulov every weekend. For what specifically do you always happily return to Moravia for? I know Mikulov from the time of my studies at the Brno Conservatory, when I left Prague for an excellent teacher. We used to go to help in the vineyard in Pálava as students, but I think that the vineyard owner had to “check” it by hand after us. I returned to Mikulov in connection with my activities at the Arts University in Graz, and I feel like a “Mikulovák” today. I live in Mikulov and I travel to Brno and Graz for work. But basically my home is all of Europe rather than one place. What is your relationship with Moravian wine? Do you plan your own vineyard, wine cellar or at least a home wine cellar in the future? I have got used to the vaulted rooms of our house and immensely inspiring character of some old houses in the city. Although we have two cellars in the house, one new and one probably several hundred years old, I do not have a vineyard, but a small wine cellar, yes. Wine, women and song are for many the perfect combination. You have already found your ideal woman, but which wine and which kind of music do you enjoy together? We enjoy more or less all kinds of music. I prefer red wine. But I also like white in the summer and rosé in the autumn.

WINERY CHATEAU LEDNICE & VALTICE UNDERGROUND Whomever has been enchanted by fairyland Lednice-Valtice area will certainly be glad to taste wine from grapes ripened on the best vineyards in the area under the auspices of UNESCO. The flagship of winery Chateau Lednice is Pinot Gris, from

visit during your travel is Valtické Underground – a unique labyrinth of underground corridors and halls, the oldest parts were formed during the 13th century. At a depth of 6–12 m below surface have been renovated more than 760m of historic wine cellars and halls. You can visit it at any time during the year and every wine lover can own his own archive box, a piece of your own wine cellar.

Valtice tracks Jižní svahy and U Cihelny, and Traminer from the renowned Lednice track Končiny. Apart from its own vineyards it processes grapes from the vineyards of the Faculty of Horticulture, Mendel University.

A place where you can taste the wine of winery Chateau Lednice and which you should definitely

WINE CELLARS VALTICE When the Lichtensteins came to Valtice at the end of the 14th century, they knew that their estate had ideal conditions for wine-growing and wine-making. They built it, on the model of the French wine domin-

ion type CHÂTEAU, unique wine wholly of European format. It was revived after the Second World War thanks to the company Vinné sklepy Valtice. It is the oldest winery of the Lednice-Valtice area.

THE OLDEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL PARTNER FOR EDUCATION ABOUT WINE

...TO TOP IT ALL primordial gem of our ancestors

VĚSTONICKÁ VENUS An abundance of game and a favourable climate attracted the first inhabitants of South Moravia half a million years ago. Archaeological findings from a number of places confirm that the mammoth hunters, the 1st farmers and cattle breeders lived here. Villages of metal workers of Bronze and Iron Age arose here. Findings confirm the presence of Romans, Celts, Germanic tribes and nomadic Huns and Vandals. Dolní Věstonice has become famous because of systematic surveys of archaeological sites from the Early Stone Age. Prof. Karel Absolon, a researcher in the area of caving and archaeology led them 1924–1938. The little sculpture of a Palaeolithic beauty was found in the remains of a fire at the top of a prehistoric place between Dolní Věstonice and Pavlov on 13. 7. 1925. An unknown creator moulded it from a mixture of clay approximately 25,000 years ago. The Věstonická Venus statue, 11.5 cm tall and 4.3 cm wide at the hips, is not only unique in the world, but it also gets recognition as the oldest ceramic work in the world. The original is in the possession of the oravian Museum in Brno in Moravian thee collections of the Anthroposs Institute. A copy can be seen directly in Dolní stonice, in the perVěstonice, anent exhibition manent Thee Age of Mamoth Hunters. moth

LIST OF WINERIES, PhDr. Vít Dočkal, Ph.D. The “Nad Sklepy” winery continues the family wine tradition, which is now developed by cellarman Vítek with his wife Jana and grandmother Majka. The pride and pleasure are also its two successors – sons Vilém a Hynek (1 year and 3 years). The vineyards are registered temporarily for bioproduction. Major cellar upgrading took place in 2008–2009, when Vít Dočkal bought new technology for the processing of grapes, the system of controlled fermentation and bottling, and introduced modern methods of vinification. Wines from Vít Doškal are almost exclusively predicate, the winemaker himself prefers semi-dry or semi-sweet, and lightweight with a typical “Pálava” bouquet of foreign fruit or blooming meadows. The Sauvignon Blanc late harvest and Chardonnay grapes selection belong to the top samples of year 2010. The family wine cellar from the Habán time is located close to the accommodation apartment building “Nad Sklepy”.

Radomír Nepraš, with the help of friends, founded the winery Reisten, s.r.o. in 1999. The original vision of its founders (Radomír Nepraš, Jiří Kalášek a Martin David) was to produce about 30 000 litres of wine annually and buy all the grapes from regular suppliers. This intention found its limits in an effort to produce wines of the highest quality. Therefore the winery started planting their own vineyards on the tracks U Božích muk, Pod Pálavou (Pavlov), Valtická (Mikulov) and Nad Nesytem (Sedlec) in 2001. It manages 28 ha of vineyards today. Varietal composition is concentrated on Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Welschriesling, Riesling, Chardonnay, Traminer, Pinot Noir, Merlot and St. Laurent. The basic winery requirement is to convert the quality of grapes into wine without loss – it is hand harvested into crates, the grapes are only without seed and pressed in a closed pneumatic press. The qualitatively balanced wine collection is designed for top restaurants, wine shops and private clients. Wines are produced in two sophisticated lines – Classic and MAIDENBURG.

Today Great Sonberk gives the best white dry wine in Central and Eastern Europe – Riesling 2008 and other examples of the top of current Moravian wine-growing. Now on 40 hectares we grow the most suitable varieties from the historic and geologic point of view and we produce predicate wines characterised by high fruitiness, interesting juiciness and a unique mineral content. Sonberk is the first winery devoted to modern architecture, created by architect Josef Pleskot and is a place of encounter of people less or more known, for us always important, who left a piece of their personality there.

When you say Valtice and a winery, everybody who at least knows something about wine, will certainly think of the oldest traditional and prestigious winery in the Czech Republic and Czechoslovakia – the Vinné sklepy Valtice (Valtice Wine Cellars) winery. However, this winery was built much earlier and stood by the birth of wine-growing in Valtice. The winery was built according to the model of the French wine dominion of the chateau type. The Lichtensteins – one of the most significant European noble families built there a unique wine-making complex of a European format matchless in its character, specialisation and size. This happened on the beginning of the 15th century, when the Lichtensteins found out that South Moravia offers excellent conditions for grape growing and wine making. The resurrection and unification of the wine-growing Dominion into the significant functioning unit in the world context is a success of the Vinné sklepy Valtice winery. Its wine label CHÂTEAU VALTICE then became a synonym for the top wine not only in Bohemia but all over the world. It is proved by many significant quality awards from the prestigious local and world wine exhibitions.

The city was owned by many noble families, and then in the 14th century it came under the ownership of the significant princely Lichtenstein family. Lichtenstein recognized that in South Moravia are excellent conditions for growing grapes and producing wine in the early 15th century. The winery was built on the model of the French wine dominion “Château”. By its character, focus and size was built for one of the most prominent Austria aristocratic families of Lichtenstein a unique wine unit of the European format. Development of the winery Dominio necessitated the construction of 2 unique cellars. The Chateau cellar AD 1430 with a capacity of almost 700,000 l was built more than half a century before Christopher Columbus discovered America. The large cross-vault cellar AD 1640 with a capacity of over one million l was built in 1640. Both cellars are used today as in the past for storing and maturing the best Valtice wines that indicate the highest quality wines – Chateau VALTICE. The chateau cellar is accessible to tourists.

WINE-GROWING SUB-REGION

VELKOPAVLOVICKÁ The countryside with broken relief, that nor th of the biggest wine - growing village of Velké Bílovice climbs the hills of the Hustopeče Highlands and then in the fertile lowlands slowly declines to Brno, is one of the sunniest and warmest places in the Czech Republic. It is no surprise that thanks to the ideal location, favourable climate and soil conditions grapes has been grown there already since the period of Great Moravian Empire. The first written mention about local winegrowing dates back to 1252, when Boček of Obřany gave a gift representing a third of the yield from his vineyards in Pouzdřany, Zaječí and Velké Pavlovice to the newly established Cistercian Monastery in Žďár. Velké Pavlovice got famous thanks to the outstanding red wines, especially Svatovavřinecké (Saint Laurent) and Frankovka (Blaufränkisch) that are born on the local loess-clay soil with ample magnesium. You can meet wines labelled with the VOC Modré Hory logo since 2011. It is exclusively for wines from the three most typical red varieties of the region: Blaufränkisch, St. Laurent and Blauer Portugieser. The second biggest sub-region in the number of wine-growers and area of vineyards has an enormous potential in wine-tourism. The region involves Brno – the second biggest city in the country, very attractive destinations around Austerlitz, where in 1805 the famous Napoleon battle took place. Many other towns have had already for centuries the reputation of significant wine-growing centres, as for example Velké Bílovice, Hustopeče, Židlochovice or Čejkovice with the Gothic keep and Templar cellar. We mustn’t forget about Velké Pavlovice; did you know that just there on January 24, 1907 the first issue of the “Vinařský obzor”– the still existing professional monthly for viticulture, wine-making, wine sale and wine gastronomy – was published?

VELKOPAVLOVICKÁ SLAVKOV – a city, whose name in German f form is Austerlitz, is known thanks to the Napoleonic Battle of Austerlitz (2. 12. 1805) to the whole world. The truce between France and Austria was concluded after the battle in the baroque castle. You can see historical interiors, the remains of the former early Gothic commandery of the Teutonic Order, preserved in the deep underground of Austerlitz castle. The golf course of the Golf Club Austerlitz extends to the park. The Peace Memorial, Art Nouveau stone chapel, a memorial of wars and their victims, is on the hill above the village Prace. The decisive fights of the battle took place here. The building with multimedia exhibition of the Brněnska Museum and a café is in the surrounding park area.

The Peace Memorial Ceremony set to honour the dead as the climax of the commemoration anniversary of the battle every year is at the turn of November and December. www.zamek-slavkov.cz | www.gca.cz www.mohylamiru.muzeumbrnenska.cz KRUMVÍŘ – the first historical mention of the village is from 1350. Although Krumvíř has a scratch plough and wine knife in its seal, the

70 | wine-growing sub-region velkopavlovická

written mention of the wine tithe is from 1723. The series of cellars are the pride of the village, many of them have a painted porch. Krumvíř is also famous for pottery, wood carving and scratched egg production. You can come for example to visit the folk festival Kraj bez stínu or costumed feast of St. Bartoloměj. www.krumvir.cz BRNO – the 1st written record of Brno´s vineyards is from the 13th century. Vineyards were planted around the slopes of uptown Brno, many of them have various attributes of wine -grapes, wine knives and baskets in their logos. Grapevines even once grew on the southern slopes of Špilberk, but when the castle became a military baroque fortress, its slopes had to remain bare for defensive reasons. Špilberk, the most famous prison of the Habsburg monarchy, is the seat of the Brno City Museum now. The casemates with a prison exhibition are one of the most attractive tourist sites. The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul and the Old Town Hall belongs to another dominant of the city. The local arched passage, with the famous Brno dragon, is decorated with a beautiful lateGothic stone portal. You can see a bird´s eye view of the historic centre from the town hall tower with Renaissance gallery. You will also find Villa Tugendhat in Brno. A masterpiece of functionalist architecture from the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe from 1929–1930, which was registered on World Heritage List of UNESCO in 2001. Modern architecture lovers admire Brno´s Exhibition Centre, which is thanks to a unique collection of functionalist architecture, one of the most elegant exhibition areas in the world. Automotodrom Masaryk Circuit, the venue of the annual motorcycle Grand Prix, golf course in Jinačovice,

the zoo or museum of prehistory pavilion Anthropos represent Brno as a city of entertainment and leisure. Bystrc, Chrlice, Maloměřice, Medlánky, Obřany and Tuřany belong to the winegrowing villages. You can find smaller vineyards in the Vinohrady district, where nearly all the streets of modern housing are named after the wine villages of South Moravia. www.brno.cz HUSTOPEČE – EXPOSITION – vineyards around Hustopeče were among the largest in the Czech lands in the past. They were owned by the nobility, monasteries and wealthy citizens from Brno and Olomouc. The city used to have its own, very famous, horenský (wine) court against whose decision it was not possible to appeal. It stood on the place of today‘s bank, where you can still see the original stone coat of arms on the facade. The citizens had the wine cellars under their houses like elsewhere. The Renaissance house U Synků, below which 2 parallel cellars have survived, on the upper part of the square is from 1579. You can see the permanent wine exhibition of Hustopeče with wine store in the stylishly renovated underground. Exhibition, opened in 2003, serves to promote the winemakers of the wine-growing sub-region velkopavlovická. The panels describing the yearlong work in the vineyard, winemaking and history of Hustopeče are here with contemporary objects, used for treating vineyards, wine production and storage. Both cellars are equipped with wine boxes where the local winemakers have the opportunity to exhibit their wine samples. The space for wine tasting is completed with information panels about each variety of grape grown in the Czech Republic. If you want to taste Hustopeče wine, you can choose from several wine tasting programmes, or go to one of the wine attractions. A range of them is held in Hustopeče – Wine competition about the Hustopeče seal, expedition through the André region, stum festival or celebration of St. Martin‘s wine and geese. You will discover a quaint curiosity in the courtyard of the house U Synků – a sandstone sculpture of wine yeasts. The circumference is 167 cm and it is 69,230 times bigger then the live original. Hustopece has gained the Czech record for the biggest art prints of

a living organism. The modern church of St. Václav and Sv. Anežka Česká dominates Hustopeče. Its predecessor, the late-Gothic church of St. Václav, was damaged during the Second World War. The new church, an interesting two-storey building in the shape of a spiral, was ordained in 1994. Copies of saved architectural elements of the old church are integrated into the interiors, the peak of the tower is decorated with a stylized St. Václav crown. www.hustopece-city.cz VELKÉ PAVLOVICE – Velkopavlovicko is rare because of the dominance of blue varieties, which due to the locality’s open position to the south has almost 1900 hours of sunshine a year. The best red wines in Central Europe are produced here because of this. Velké Pavlovice is written into wine history mainly due to the breeding station, which created 4 new essentially Czech varieties. Aromatic Pálava and Aurelius represent white varieties, Agni and André, wine with aroma of forest fruits, blue varieties.

André was bred by crossing varieties Blaufränkisch and Saint Laurent in 1961, named after Ch. K. André (1763–1831). He founded the 1st association for fruit breeding in the world in Brno, and sparked the interest for obtaining new varieties of crossbreeding. You will discover a grape press from 1816, a variety of ancient wine cellars and presses, which give the town and surrounding vineyard countryside its

unique character, in Velké Pavlovice. The Baroque granary, a construction of a technical nature from 1770–1780, is the most interesting architectural monument of the town besides the baroque Church Nanebevzetí Panny Marie and several small religious monuments. You can go on a short trip to St. Urban chapel, which stands only a few hundred meters from the Slunečná tower in the vine track Nadzahrady or to the modern cellar streets, which grew at the foot of the most famous velkopavlovická vine track Staré hory in 2012. The designer of fun „la gaudiwaser“, drunken cellars playing with all colours, is Josef Veverka. www.slechtitelka.cz | www.velke-pavlovice.cz KOBYLÍ – a hectare of vineyard was more expensive than 20 ha of fields here, according to documents from the 14th century. Deep and long ancient wine cellars scattered throughout the village and old wooden presses show the high wine production. The wine cellar street Suchořádská zmola belongs to the most interesting places. Once there used to be ravine, it collapsed after heavy rain in 1900. The mu-

seum of Kobilí history and its inhabitants shows that today‘s life of the village is closely associated with viniculture and viticulture. You can see a permanent exhibition of traditional small-scale wine production with a wine store offering wine tasting of local winemakers. | www.kobyli.cz

ČEJKOVICE – the 1st written reports on the village from 1248 are associated with the existence of a fort built by members of the Order of the Knights Templar. Templars started to cultivate vine and built a Gothic fort with extensive cellars with a length of 650 m, one of the largest in the Czech Republic. Marvellous legends have always been told about the height, width and length of the Templar cellars and many of them have survived till now. Armed men on the horses and fully loaded carts could pass through the tunnels. You cannot see the secret corridor, which should lead from Čejkovice to Slovak´s Skalice, but the wine cellar, used by Templářské cellars for storage of vintage wines and maturation up to 350,000 litres of wine in oak barrels and barriques are open. The former Templar ford is used as a hotel, you can taste and buy the best wines from Čejkovice and surrounds in the Castle Wine Gallery. They say that Čejkovické wine cellars are among the elite wine buildings in the region. They are concentrated in several locations.

The first written mention of the surrounding vineyards is from 1361. Bořetičtí began to build cellars directly under the vineyard slopes, because between the village and vineyard slopes Kraví hora was a lake unto 1835. It is said that winemakers went to the cellars and vineyards in boats and the poorer ones had to paddle in a washtub. A large cellar area is the pride of Bořetice till now. You can count about 260 wine cellars in double rows that gradually form a cellar village with several streets. You can go through the Horní and Dolní Frejd (so called hedges that once fenced the upper and lower border of the vineyard), Hlíníky and Zahraničí. 15 m

INTERVIEW VELKOPAVLOVICKÁ

ROZHOVOR

I always recognise good wine and good people

JOŽKA ŠMUKAŘ Famous folk singer, storyteller and presenter, Jožka Šmukař, was born in Krumvíř, near the centre of the wine-growing sub-region velkopavlovická. He became famous as a professional singer of brass band Moravanka. His main hobby is his own vineyard and winery, he talks about it as “matters of the heart”. Folk music and wine belong inherently together. What is your relationship to wine? Very positive, I have actually lived with wine my whole life. I could say that I tasted wine in the cradle, with some exaggeration, spent my youth with it, my middle age, and I hope I will like it as much as today also in my senior years. You sang in brass bands and dulcimer bands. Which kind of folk orchestra is personally closer to you? Do you have a song for your “heart”? As a young tenor I started in the small south Moravian dulcimer bands, I was the singer of Moravanka, Moravěnka, I sang with dozens of dulcimer bands. And not just from south Moravia, but even with Domažlice pipers, with south Bohemian brass bands. So I could say that I do not distinguish the genre much. In my “heart” belongs songs from Hanácké Slovácko, where I come from, and also “love” ones. Everyone knows you as a great musician, but only a few people know that you are also a winemaker. You have your vineyards and wine cellar in Starovičky u Hustopečí. How did you get into the wine bars? Already as a kid, because my father was also a winemaker. And because of this I had some duties as well. I had to hoe our vineyards regularly. I was at the wine harvest regularly and prepared and tasted stum with my father, and I had the opportunity to go to our wine cellar with friends. My father never banned me from wine and conversely taught me a lot about it. Is it possible to combine such challenging hobbies as viticulture and winemaking with your performance at many events? It is time-consuming sometimes, but it‘s a pleasure mostly. Often, folklore and winemaking overlap, because I meet not only musicians but

74 | wine-growing sub-region velkopavlovická

also winemakers at events. The joy of music connects me with musicians, with the winemakers we solve future yields and mutually evaluate the quality of our wines. Not only by words of course, but nicely with a cup in hand. What wine varieties are you growing? Do you have a favourite variety that you like to taste in the form of a glass of wine? I tried everything possible when I started. Gradually you focus on a few selected varieties that suit you the most. Be it taste, smell or colour. I prefer Riesling from white wines today, I like Veltliner or Pálava, I prefer St. Laurent from the red, I like Blaufränkisch, Dornfelder. It is more of those varieties, drink them according to the season, mood, or the composition of friends in my cellar. You have issued the book “Walking with Jožka Šmukař for song and wine”. Which of the places you‘ve visited belong among your favourite? We travelled mainly for the music and the people around it in this book. It was a reflection of our TV series Travelling for Song. For wine we travelled in a different TV series, which was typically named Vínečko. It was also wandering for wonderful people and great wine varieties in the most interesting wine locations. So we have been in the Znojmo Louka monastery, in Habánské cellars in Velké Bílovice, in the Castle cellars in Strážnice, in Valtice ... Wine tourism has become very popular recently. To which interesting places from subregion velkopavlovická would you invite wayfaring wine lovers? When you travel on a bike through south Moravia, it does not matter which way you take. Because you eventually encounter some cellars where winemakers have good wine. Wine as well as songs, is again only about people. How they fit each other, how they understand each other. I can say from my own experience that I always recognise good wine and good people.

WINE EXPERIENCES TO NEJLEPŠÍ WINERY PŘÍTLUKY Wines from the sunny slopes of the Přítlucké mountain have been famous for centuries, they could never be missing from Liechtenstein tables

for everyday dining, let alone special occasions. You can taste wines that combine tradition, hard work and the delicious taste of selected varieties of grape thanks to Winery Přítluky till now. Winery Přítluky is engaged in the production of small lots of wines of higher quality. In the vineyards U studánky, U křížku, U majáku, or Vinohrádky they cultivate varieties that are suitable for this area, and are verified by ancient history - Grüner Veltliner (it was once considered as one of the best in Moravia!) Malverina, Traminer, Pálava, Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt or Pinot Noir. Varieties Müller Thurgau and Hibernal grow on vineyards around Přítluky, Rakvice and

Hustopeče. Quality grapes for producing wines of higher quality deserve the most delicate treatment, and therefore the Winery Přítluky uses the latest manufacturing technology, and for sealing country and quality wines modern screw caps. A considerable part of production consists of quality Moravian wines with a typical varietal character, pleasantly drinkable and perfectly harmonious, produced in limited quantities. The selection is completed by young wines and a collection of selected predicate wines.

JAKUB ŠAMŠULA WINERY Jakub Šamšula uses the slogan SIMPLY WINE for his wines. Over a glass of wine from Čejkovice simply forget about everyday worries and let the wine

show you what it can do to enchant and satisfy you, to convince you life is good - and believe it, SIMPLY WINE from Jakub Šamšula can do that. Despite no century-old winemaking tradition in this family, 18-year-old Jakub Šamšula took over a small family cellar and began a series of experiments with the production of quality bottled wines. Wine became his passion, and so a small young dynamic winery was gradually formed – unburdened by history, but with a clear goal for the future – a winery that pays attention to vineyard work and reduced harvest grapes, bottles its entire production, whose winemaker thinks a lot about his work and is not afraid to experiment. 1st-class Čejkovice vineyards allow the growth of

a wide range of varieties, but Jakub Šamšula carefully chooses what to present to demanding customers. He bet on a narrow range and specialized in less than a dozen varieties, from white is Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pálava and Hibernal, from red Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Limited sets of super quality dry wines, which stand out by their softness and purity of flavour, completed by sects, prepared by the classical method of fermentation in the bottle. What could be said to champagne Baphomet, which will lead you by its name to the deep history of Čejkovice?

The wine-growing tradition of the Skoupil family dates back to 1852. Grape growing and wine making issues from the historic roots of the Velké Bílovice region. The present successor, Petr Skoupil, has been making wine for more than 25 years. He uses his experience from wine making in Austria and France. Vineyards (35 hectares of own and 50 hectares of rented area) are farmed with a maximal respect to the needs of environment-friendly farming and thanks to this care they provide excellent grapes for wine production. The special attention is paid to the environmentfriendly technology and reduced grape harvest. Thanks to attentive care the vineyard pays back with wonderful grapes. The precisely applied technology of controlled fermentation and subsequent maturation of selected batches of wine in barrels enables to reach the maximum quality of the final product. The yearly production reaches 600 thousand of bottles. Our wine will satisfy everyday requirements of a wine lover in a wide spectrum of expectations and delights. Hundreds of local and international awards for the last several years prove the top quality of our wine.

WINE-GROWING SUB-REGION

SLOVÁCKÁ Slovácko (Moravian Slovakia) lies on the southeast of Moravia on the border between the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria. The local folk costumes, songs, dances, traditional trades and customs enchanted many visitors – and the traditional wine growing and excellent wines go hand in hand with the local unique folklore. The wine-growing sub-region slovácká is really large and due to that has various nature conditions. You can find vineyards in the Morava River valley, in the hilly countryside of the White Carpathians or on the southern slopes of the Chřiby Mountains and Ždánický Forest. The sub-region also involves the environs of Uherské Hradiště, where you can find the northernmost Moravian vineyards. Also as similarly varied as the local folklore world is a Slovácko wine variety that is constantly expanding. One of the newest additions is Florianka, white wine from a variety that originated in the wine breeding station in Polešovice, crossing varieties Müller Thurgau and an early red Veltliner. It was registered to the State Variety Book in 2010 and it’s named after the vineyard Floriánka in Blatnice pod Svatým Antonínkem, where you can also find its vineyard. Those who want to see with their own eyes all places of interest in Slovácko, will travel forever. The significant wine-growing centres include Uherské Hradiště, Bzenec, Kyjov and Břeclav – the biggest town in Slovácko, but also many small towns and villages. They involve Mutěnice with the Research viticulture station, Strážnice, Čejč, Dubňany and Blatnice pod Svatým Antonínkem. The pearl of Slovácko is the complex of historic wine cellars called Plže; found at the edge of Petrov village. And did you know that Slovácko has had since 2003 its symbolic vineyard tree – serviceberry? You will certainly see it with your own eyes.

SLOVÁCKÁ VELEHRAD – an important spiritual centre iis also one of the most important pilgrimage places in the Czech Republic. The 1st Great Moravian archbishop, St. Metoděj, had his headquarters here according to legend. The 1st Cistercian monastery in Moravia arose at Velehrad in 1205. Its founder, the Moravian margrave Vladislav Jindřich, named it after the nearby village Veligrad. The 100 m long five-aisled basilica, once the largest church in the Czech lands, is decorated with many paintings, banners and valuable gifts of pilgrims from around the world. Baroque carved choir pews and the organ from the 18th century belong to the art treasures. The area of the courtyard, lapidary and chapel of St. Cyril and Metoděj, colloquially

called Cyrilka, are part of the pilgrimage area.

INTERVIEW VELKOPAVLOVICKÁ

ROZHOVOR

wine and singing is a healing combination

PETRA HŘEBÍČKOVÁ The Czech theatre and film actress, Petra Hřebíčková, was born in Hodonín, where she also studied at the Business Academy. She continued her studies at JAMU in Brno, in the field dramatic acting. Then she worked in the Brno theatre Polárka and at the Municipal Theatre Zlín. She got the award Thálie for the main role in the drama Maryša in 2009. She is a member of the ensemble Švanda Theatre today, we can see her in productions Biomanželka or Gottland. She got recognition mainly from the role Jaruška in Menzel‘s film “I Served the King of England”, from the film “Kawasaki‘s Rose” and the film “Men in Hope”. On stage and in front of the camera you give the impression that you were born for acting. When did you realise that acting is exactly what you want to do in life? It was at the theatre Divadlo Skleněných Bublin, an author’s amateur theatre, founded by František Procházka and Vašek Syrový. Both of them were teaching at the Business Academy in Hodonín where I studied, and thanks to them I was completely immersed in theatre. You moved to Prague from southern Moravia because of the work. Do you see it as a major change, whether in terms of environment, lifestyle or leisure? It was a big change, but I‘ve got used to it. I still miss it. But I love Prague more and more. It is up to you how you arrange your life wherever you live. You only have different conditions. I realized that I don’t have to change myself and things I like. I don’t have to give up anything. I miss the most people and the relationships I have built up over the years in Moravia. Family, nobody can replace them in Prague. Do you often return back to hometown Hodonín? Which place is closest to your heart? I travel there as much as possible. I finally got to enjoy Hodonín in the summer, especially our garden outside the town, it is our small summer house and my favourite place. Thanks to family. The place is always connected with the people you love.

108 | wine-growing sub-region slovácká

When you say Slovácko, everyone things of a costumed feast and wine. Did you create a close relationship to these traditions? Do you have a personal experience with them? I did not go to any folklore group. But I feel the local tradition. I have a strong experience from Strážnice, where my mum comes from. My grandmother used to take me there to visit the aunts that used to wear costumes and paint beautiful ornaments. Strážnický festival was always the biggest experience. I love the local museum. I went to wine cellars and was invited to the real village feast later through friends from the surrounding villages. Goethe said that „wine rejoices the heart of man“. Do you rejoice regularly with a glass of good Moravian wine? I could say that regularly. But I miss the music here. I love dulcimer music. We often sat at the piano and sang with wine in Zlín. I cannot play that I would entertain company, it wants a player so that we could begin to sing more here. It has a healing connection. Are there opportunities that you cannot imagine without wine? Which wine do you generally prefer? In fact, every opportunity to toast or sit is for me automatically associated with wine. I drink almost nothing else. Well, I have learned to drink slivovice from Zlín and I also drink beer in the summer. But I prefer dry white wine. I like red wine as well, but you get drunk faster, so handle it carefully. And sometimes I have a downright muscat mood. We always have a bottle of wine in the fridge next to the milk. Simply: butter, eggs, cheese, bread, milk, wine - basic food. Where do you preferably go to relax and gain new energy? It‘s still our family garden. Right next to it is a bottomland swampy forest. And the Morava is flowing a bit further. I love Hodonín’s weir which demonstrates the power of water. I also run to the Kinských garden next to Švandovo theatre or to the Vltava in Prague.

WINE EXPERIENCES TO NEJLEPŠÍ JOSEF DUFEK WINERY Although the winery was established „only“ in 2003, it has something to build on – a more than 100 year family winemaking history and SvatobořiceMistřín, located 3 km east of Kyjova towards Hodonín has a good reputation among wine villages.

The Dufek family currently manages 17 ha of new vineyards. Quality comes first, from spring work in the vineyards through harvest with maximum respect for nature to wine production using the most modern technologies. If you are looking for a winery that almost entirely uses a rich variety of domestically grown varieties, you will find it at the Dufek family. They offer about 30 varieties, among other things, because such a wide range is interesting for wine tourism. The offer does not end at wines: part of the winery is a guesthouse with accommodation for 50 guests and a wine cellar lying on the Mutěnice

wine cycle path on the outskirts of the village outside the buildings, which ensures a restful stay for guests. The achieved results demonstrate the correct direction and concept. The winery receives annually medals for their wines at international exhibitions in Paris, London, San Francisco, Vienna, and also at home including Champion VVT Valtice. You can taste these wines in a wine tasting led by an experienced cellarman in the vaulted cellar directly among the barrels, you may also look into the archive cellar.

At the edge of Vrchní Nechory and still in the centre of the legendary Prušánky cellar colony you can find a small winery – At the Holy Cross. Pavel Matušek gave this name to its winery according to an old sacral monument, where a celebration is held every year. He has been working on his family vineyards since 2002 and his wines reflect his kind, calm and level-headed character. They were involved in the Small Wine Encyclopaedia and his Neronet 2008 was a pride of the Wine Salon in Valtice.
