Terroir

• The calcareous bedrock of the viniční trať sites is the dominant geological factor of the sub-region, expressing itself as mineral notes in the wine.
• The colour of the soil surface influences the colour and tannin ripeness of red wines.
• The relief and aspect of the viniční trať sites are key terroir factors influencing both aromatics and acid structure.
• The alternation of warm days and cool nights in autumn, typical of the sub-region, contributes positively to the development of aromatic compounds.
• Calcareous soils influence the acid structure of sparkling and semi-sparkling wines as well as the minerality of still wines.

• The sub-region was established in May 2004 on the basis of Wine Act No. 321/2004 Coll. and Decree No. 324/2004 Coll. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• Traditional must varieties: Pálava, Ryzlink vlašský, Ryzlink rýnský, Sylvánské zelené, Rulandské bílé/šedé/modré, Chardonnay. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• White quality wines: colour yellow-green to green-yellow, aromas of green apple, pear, and jasmine; palate delicate and full with a lively acidity and mineral notes derived from the calcareous bedrock.

• The calcareous bedrock of the viniční trať sites directly shapes the mineral notes and acid structure of the wine across all styles.
