Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• The geological subsoil consists primarily of čedič and vápenec, which influence the minerality and flavor profile of the wines.
• The čedič subsoil expresses itself in mineral tones, particularly in white wines of the pozdní sběr category.
• The calcareous subsoil of certain viniční tratí positively influences acid structure in sparkling and semi-sparkling wines.
• The regional climate is favorable for white varieties; the alternation of warm days and cool nights promotes aromatic ripeness. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• The relief and aspect of the viniční tratí fundamentally influence tannin ripeness as well as acid structure.

• White wines: delicate fruity-floral aromas, pronounced fresh acidity; minerality in pozdní sběr driven by čedič and vápenec subsoil.
• Red wines: aromas of cherries, sour cherries, and dried plums; pronounced tannin shaped by the relief of the tratí and the climate.

• The minerality of white pozdní sběr wines is influenced by the čedič and calcareous geological subsoil of the viniční tratí.
