KRÁSNA HORÁ WINERY

The roots of our small, family winery go back to the early 1960s, when under the communist system, my grandfather planted our first vineyards.  Since that time, we have come a long way, and our focus now is on releasing high quality, biodynamic wines from small parcels of premium fruit after long and careful ageing in our cellar, located immediately behind our vineyard.

THE MORAVIA WINE REGION

Situated on the 49th parallel, at the very limit of where grapes can be grown in Central Europe, in the south-eastern corner of the Czech Republic, we enjoy a cool climate viticulture with big differences between day and night time temperatures.  Under these conditions, our wines have excellent aromatic expression along with mouth-watering acidity and freshness.

OUR VINEYARDS

Our vineyards are carefully tended by hand and biodynamic principles are implemented to produce grapes of the highest possible quality that express the terroir of our microclimate. The use of herbal teas and specially prepared composts and manures enables us to avoid using any synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers.  Yields are carefully controlled to around 1.3 kg/vine in order to achieve the intensity and concentration of aromas and flavours that we are looking for.
