The roots of the Krásná Hora family winery date back to the early 1960s, when Marko's grandfather planted the first vineyards during the communist regime. Since then, they have come a long way and now focus on quality biodynamic wines from small vineyards and quality grapes. The wine matures right next to the vineyards in a beautiful designer winery. All red and most white wines mature in oak barrels on fine yeast lees. Thanks to the barrels, yeast and healthy grapes, the amount of sulfur in the wines is lower and their expression is more natural.
The winery is located in the southeast of Moravia. Thanks to this, the vineyards enjoy large differences between day and night temperatures. Under these conditions, the wines have an excellent aromatic expression along with delicious acidity and freshness.
The vineyards are carefully tended by hand and biodynamic principles are implemented to produce grapes of the highest possible quality, expressing the terroir of the microclimate. The use of herbal teas and specially prepared composts and manures allows to avoid the use of any synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. The yields are carefully controlled to approximately 1.3 kg / bush to achieve the intensity and concentration of aromas and flavors.
The winery's annual production is approximately 50,000 bottles, of which up to 40% is exported.
