Terroir

• The Čechy wine region extends primarily across the northern part of central Bohemia along the Elbe and Ohře rivers, and across north-western Bohemia in the Podkrušnohoří foothills along the Bílina river. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• The palate of white quality wines is influenced by the region's geological substratum, which consists mainly of basalt and limestone.
• The acid structure of white quality wines is primarily linked to the climatic conditions of the area and the landscape relief, both of which are favourable for the ripening of white varieties.
• Tannin maturity in red wines is influenced by the relief of the vineyard sites and the climatic conditions during grape ripening.
• The acid structure of rosé wines is related to the cooler conditions for the ripening of red-wine varieties, which are, however, well suited to the production of rosé wines.

• The Čechy wine region with its Mělnická and Litoměřická sub-regions was established in May 2004 in connection with the new organisation of wine regions under Wine Act No. 321/2004 Coll. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• The typical grape-variety composition for white wines includes Rulandské šedé, Rulandské bílé, Ryzlink rýnský, Müller Thurgau, Muscat Ottonel, and Kerner; for red wines, Modrý Portugal, Dornfelder, and Rulandské modré. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• White regional wines display a delicate fruity-floral aroma and a pronounced, fresh, and piquant acidity.
• Red regional wines display an aromatic character of red and dark fruit with notes of cherries, sour cherries, and dried plums, and a soft palate with a pronounced tannic structure.
