Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• The geological subsoil of the vineyards consists predominantly of vápenec, which influences the flavour characteristics and minerality of the wines.
• The calcareous subsoil accentuates the aromatic and flavour properties of the wine, particularly in the pozdní sběr category.
• The climate of the podoblast is globally cooler, with a higher proportion of malic acid and cooler conditions for the ripening of red varieties.
• The alternation of warm days and cool nights during grape ripening positively influences the aromatic character and structure of white wines.
• The relief and aspect of the viniční tratě relative to the cardinal directions rank among the most significant factors influencing tannin and acid structure.

• The podoblast was established in May 2004 under Wine Act No. 321/2004 Coll. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• In the Mělnická podoblast, white wines in the výběr z cibéb category are the most commonly encountered.

• White wines: delicate fruity aroma, more pronounced acidity (vápenec, climate); reds: cherry and sour cherry, shorter palate, more pronounced tannins.

• The calcareous subsoil of the viniční tratě intensifies the minerality and aromatic-flavour properties of white wines in the pozdní sběr category in particular.
