Czech Republic
Child Company of EMBASSY OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC IN USA
Let's discover the taste of Central Bohemian organic wines.
Our family winery was founded in 2002 Mr. Stanislav Rudolfský. In 2005 his son Lukáš took over the management of the company, who still manages it to this day. Together they began to restore the faded glory of grapevine cultivation in Kutná Hora.
The tradition dates back to the early 12th century and a legend tells us that it was a vineyard-working monk called Dominik who first found silver, the resource which would soon establish Kutná Hora´s European significance.
Pinot Noir is the dominant grape, widespread in the Czech lands centuries ago thanks to the Emperor Charles IV. still thrives here today.
We farm about 80 hectares of land, more than a half are vineyards, the rest are sheep pastures, orchards, and fields.
Our objective is to create independent estate, producing top quality organic products.
We grow wines without causing harm to the environment. Health of the plants is aided by herbal extracts which we produce ourselves. We follow the rules of permaculture, take lunar phase into account, and benefit from the use of biodynamic preparations.
We avoid the use of chemical products. Our activities improve the quality of the soil. We cultivate the land to make it more varied and healthier, preserving it for future generations.
We are certified organic and on top of that, we are the only winery in the Czech Republic to carry the prestigious DEMETER label of biodynamic agriculture. Discover more about biodynamics at biodynamika.info..
We let things happen naturally. Our wines ferment spontaneously without added yeast. We work with fine lees to protect and heal the wines, while avoiding sulphur to prevent you from having a headache.
Our wines age in stainless steels tanks or French oak barrels of the finest quality. White wines are bottled after a gentle filtration, while red wines are usually bottled unfiltered.
