International Sauvignon Blanc Day is somewhat of a holiday for me. This year it falls on the 3rd of May, and I am very happy that I will be at Selaví restaurant, in Slovakia, which houses Jiří Zajíček’s perfect cooking. With a five course menu you can also get all of your Sauvignons (single vineyards Růženy, Stará hora, Na výsluní, Sahara and BIG). A big thanks to the team of Selaví. I’m looking forward to the celebration.

And how others like our Sauvignon, you can read here Podkorkem.cz. Thank you!

Last year our main goal was plant new vineyards. This year we are expanding our manufacturing and storage spaces. The second faze has just began! I really like the architectural designs presented to me by JEČMEN-CAHA architekti. I like simple shapes and lines, so we really understand each other on this one.

Auspitz (“Hustopeče” in german) is a wine which I was looking forward to for a very long time. A blend of two different wine varieties, from the clay grounds around Hustopeče. Hustopeče’s wine making has seen its greatest glory when 90% of the population was german. So I’m feeling a lot of energy in this context, especially do to the history of this area and my roots.

“With his 2017 wines, Roman has established a connection with the previous ones from 2015 and 2016. He has stabilised both in quality and style. And because he is consistent, the nickname “King of Moravian sauvignons” is well deserved. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t anyone else in Moravia who wouldn’t be able to compare there Sauvignons with Roman’s. But this kind of a integrated portfolio of foundations, and just the system he works with cannot be beat.”

In the December issue of Forbes Czech, you will be able to find a selection of wines for your Christmas diner. Thank you very much for mentioning our Sauvignon Na výsluní 2017.

It’s been a few weeks now since the “christening” of the new Guide of the best Czech wines has taken place. I have gotten the new issue just a little while ago. I remember that last year I was very pleased with our rating. But this year I was just shocked, in a very pleasant way. Our winery received a full rating, which is 3 stars. And two of our Sauvignons received 91 points!

A grand test of Sauvignon Blanc took place in the current Vino & Styl magazine. I'm very happy with the success of our two wines. Out of the 28 wines from all around the world, Big Sauvignon is the winner of the test, and the Sahara has been ranked as the eighth best wine. This is some nice news at the peak of the harvest!

Založení nové vinice Na výsluní byla od jara hlavně jeho práce a zodpovědnost a téměř všech 22 tisíc kusů sazenic se má čile k světu. Takhle nějak by mohl vypadat ukázkový mladý vinohrad. Radost se procházet...

Finmag & Fabig

S klukama z Finmagu jsem se potkal nedávno v Praze už lehce ovíněný po náročné pracovní degustaci a vzešel z toho třístránkový rozhovor v novém vydání. Nevím, jestli to bylo vínem nebo správnými otázkami od Martina, ale bylo to moc fajn odpoledne...
