In numbers, the wine-growing region of Moravia includes 16,697 hectares of vineyards which represent 96 % of registered vineyards in the whole Czech Republic. e remaining 4 % are found in the wine-growing region of Bohemia. e Moravia wine-growing region is the area with the oldest grape growing and wine making tradition in the country. It lies between the 49th and 48th parallel and includes more than 380 wine-growing municipalities and 1,103 vineyard sites farmed by more than 23,000 wine growers. e average annual temperature is 9.42°C and average precipitation reaches 510 mm. Vegetation period is shorter than in Western Europe, however, in the majority of years it excels in higher thermal intensity of summer months what enables growing those grape varieties that mature later. Maturation is slower and therefore the grapes contain more aromatic agents. e Moravia wine-growing region is divided into four sub-regions: Znojemská, Mikulovská, Velkopavlovická and Slovácká.

THE LAND OF WINE SERIES e publication that you are holding in your hands is a part of a large project focused on wine tourism. Cooperation of the National Wine Centre, Winegrowers’ Fund of the Czech Republic, Southern Moravia Region, Tourist Authority South Moravia and the Partnerství (Partnership) beneficiary society brought the edition, which will reliably guide you through the wine-growing regions of the Czech Republic – the Moravia wine-growing region and the Bohemia wine-growing region. e edition also involves maps of individual wine-growing sub-regions in Moravia with an overview of the most interesting places, events and the biggest wineries. Selected materials are available in English. Every year you can pick from an updated calendar of events.

LAND OF WINE

HISTORY

BACK TO THE ROMANS In search of the beginning of the journey to wine, one has to travel to the Caspian Sea area more than 5,000 years ago. Here the vine started its triumphant campaign throughout the world, and since then it accompanied humans on their wandering through life, regardless of race or religion. Vine spread to Asia Minor, Palestine, China and India; the Egyptians grew grapes along the Nile and its delta; and ancient Babylonians, Greeks and Etruscans also knew wine. In Moravia, the beginnings of viticulture are connected with the Romans. At first, the Romans preferred higher quality wines imported from Greece, however, wine growing gradually became established in the Apennines as well. In the 3rd century AD, during the reign of Marcus Aurelius Probus, Roman soldiers started to plant vineyards close to their camps also in colonies north of the Alps. One of the Roman legions, Legio Decima Gemina Pia Fidelis from Vindobona, then built a base on the Roman

FROM THE 30 YEARS‘ WAR TO THE 19TH CENTURY Before the irty Years‘ War wine growing experienced its golden age; in Moravia there were about 20,000 ha of vineyards, and 15,000 ha in Bohemia. Especially in fecund years, the home wine market felt too small. e growth was, however, interrupted by the Thirty Years‘ War: a half of the vineyards disappeared and was never restored. Some old and neglected vineyards were newly planted only by

Hill under Pálava where the Nové Mlýny reservoirs are located now. e archaeological investigations in 1926 revealed not only stone foundations of the Roman military camp, but also a 28 cm long vineyard knife – a possible proof of first vineyards in South Moravia. With the departure of the Roman legionaries, the art of viticulture had disappeared for long years and further reports on wine growing date back to the time of Slavic settlement.

VITICULTURE IN THE TIME OF GREAT MORAVIA A blossoming place, rich in vineyards and inhabitants – this is the reputed description of one of the Great Moravian towns by the Arabian traveller Idrisi

who visited the area of today‘s Moravia and Slovakia at the turn of the 9th century. ese words applied to the Great Moravian settlement in Mikulčice, considered one of the centres of the empire. Not only

vineyard knives and other tools were discovered there, but also stones of wild forest vine as well as of its cultivated variant. Although wine consumption was the privilege of the highest circles, excavated foundations of eleven churches at the Mikulčice settlement and its surroundings indicate wine was produced primarily for liturgical purposes. In the early Middle Ages, the development of Moravian viticulture was influenced by some monastery communities, especially Cistercian monks who came from the wine region of Burgundy. It was especially the Cistercians from Velehrad who started to grow wine in compact vineyard sites, but also the Dominicans from Brno, Benedictines from Rajhrad, Templars from Čejkovice, and Premonstratensians who founded the Louka Monastery near Znojmo at the end of the 12th century.

GOLDEN MIDDLE AGES The ancient traditions were continued by Emperor Charles IV who had the young vine plants brought from Burgundy (village of Chambertin), imbedded in honey not to get dr y during the journey.  e plants were accompanied by French wine growers who taught the Czechs to take care of vine and make wine. Vineyard and wine codes, i.e. the sets of viticultural common law and legal norms, were also further elaborated at that time. South Moravia municipalities adopted vineyard law from Austrian Falkenstein. In 1351, John Henry, the Moravian Margrave ordered vineyard disputes to be arbitrated by the local mayor office in Hustopeče instead of in Lower Austria; and he also issued a model vineyard code for Moravia in 1355. is code became a model for a similar document issued by Charles IV in 1358.  e emperor suggested planting vineyards at suitable places in

THE PRESENT

Bohemia and exempted their founders from taxes for 12 years. e first book on wine growing written in Czech by a Prague teacher Jan Had in 1558 describes varieties grown at that time, for example, Vídeňka (Weisser Heunisch), Běl (Gelber Heunisch), Klenice (Goher), Muškatel (White Muscat), Němčina (Pinot Gris), Bronišť ( White Traminer) and Topol (Běloočko).

ing unstoppably in following years. At the end of the 19th century, another threat appeared – pests – mites and fungal diseases such as peronospora (downy mildew) and oidium (powdery mildew). A disaster for European viticulture presented especially phylloxera, an insect attacking vine roots. is pest was first discovered in Europe in 1860 and damaged only in France more than a million hectares of vineyards. In the Bohemian lands, phylloxera appeared at the turn of 20th century in Šatov (Znojmo region), gradually affecting vineyards in the whole of Moravia and, during the next decade, decimating most of them irrecoverably.

the end of the 17th century. Future development of wine growing in Moravia was guaranteed by the fact that besides the big wine cellars of monasteries and manor houses, wineries were also being established by small rural wine makers. Wine growing started to blossom again only a er the Napoleonic wars. In 1820, in Moravia there were 29,801 ha of vineyards, and 2,576 in Bohemia; the area, however, declin-

THE 20TH CENTURY The only reliable protection against phylloxera was grafting buds of cultivated European vines onto American rootstocks that not only created a thick web of roots, but their sour juices repelled the insects. At that time, the first regional and state vine nurseries were established in order to produce gra ed plants and rootstocks. However, despite all these measures, it was not possible to restore the original extent of vineyards. Only at the end of the 20th century, a er 50 years of stagnation under the totalitarian regime, we can speak about further development of wine growing. A single decade was enough for Moravian and Czech wines to catch up with the progress that took several decades in other European countries. Restitution of vineyards and wide privatization led to restoration of traditional family wineries as well as establishment of new companies. Considerable changes were brought by the 1995 Wine Act and the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union. anks to substantial investment in modern technological equipment and new approaches in vineyard care with emphasis on quality rather than crop quantity, the quality of wine considerably improved. The Moravian and Czech wine makers were, moreover, able to react promptly to the European taste. is is reflected in the range of produced quality wines with designation of origin that are able to gain recognition at international markets and win a number of awards

at renowned world exhibitions. Although the varietal composition of vineyards remains substantially domestic, local wine producers are able to respond successfully to unstable world trends. A hundred of the best wines awarded in the annual Wine Salon of the Czech Republic competition can be found at a permanent wine-tasting exhibition in Valtice.

Also in the Czech Republic, wine became part of the modern lifestyle. Its popularity is further supported by wine tourism and special programmes focused on discovering the individual wine-growing areas. e consumption of wine has increased to about 19 litres of wine per person a year in the Czech Republic recently, causing an increase in the area of local vineyards. With the support of the state and the Wind Fund, the total area of vineyard sites has grown from 12,000 to 19,000 ha, planted mostly in Moravia.

LAND OF WINE VARIETIES One of the reasons why South Moravia gives birth to wines of original taste and renowned diversity is the unusually rich varietal composition. In local vineyards, it is possible to find 20 varieties of red wines and 26 white varieties listed in the State Book of Varieties. However, one shall not forget that this wide range of Moravian wines is also influenced by the combination of natural conditions and work of human hands. In the Czech Republic, there are more than 700 registered wineries from big companies to small family firms, and thousands of small private wine makers. erefore, the resulting style of individual wines is not determined only by terroir, diverse terrain, differing soils and microclimate but also by the wine maker with his invention, experience, and application of traditional methods or new trends. In other words, original Moravian wines are everything but insipid and mediocre.

www.vinarske.stezky.cz THE MORAVIAN WINE ROUTE e red-marked spinal route of the Moravian wine trails connects the ancient town of Znojmo with Uherské Hradiště, the metropolis of Slovácko. e 285 km long arterial road passes through all the Moravian wine-growing sub-regions and crosses 7 out of the 10 local wine route circuits. 70 winegrowing municipalities and 10 protected nature areas are located along the route.

THE BRNO WINE-GROWING ROUTE  e route starts in Moravany and connects the Moravian metropolis with routes of the sub-regions znojemská and velkopavlovická. It is 130 km long and takes the cyclists for example to Dolní Kounice where excellent red wines are grown, to the Jihlava River valley, the Jihlava River Plain National Park or the Nové Mlýny reservoirs.

MORAVIAN A unique 1,175 km long network of marked cycling routes interlacing all South Moravian wine-growing sub-regions. e project, coordinated by the Partnerství Foundation, involves 230 wine-growing villages and towns. Maps containing information about the route length, altitude profile and road surface are available for each individual circuit as well as the spinal Moravian Wine Route. Information boards and signposts with pictograms identify points of interest and services along the way.

The longest route connecting nearly 60 winegrowing towns and villages on 165 km of length. This route is not a closed circuit, but it passes through the most interesting places of the Znojmo wine-growing sub-region. e area along the Dyje River offers flat road sections and fine roads between fields and vineyards. Lovers of rougher terrains will enjoy the Podyjí National Park.

e northernmost, 85 km long route with a rougher hilly profile presents a challenge for capable cyclists. e route follows the gently undulating Kyjov Highlands and the Chřiby foothills, passing by several lookout points. Several of its branches are connected with routes passing through the neighbouring areas of Bzenec, Velké Pavlovice and Mutěnice.

THE UHERSKÉ HRADIŠTĚ WINE-GROWING ROUTE

For successful wondering to wine we recommend to get maps from our Wine Region series or directly from the Partnerství Foundation project.

The northern part of the 110 km long, richly branched route leads through a border winegrowing area with attractive terrain and lookout points. From Velké Pavlovice, a lively wine tourist area with a number of open wine cellars, the route continues via the vale of Dolnomoravský úval around the Nové Mlýny reservoirs to the LedniceValtice Composed Landscape.

THE MUTĚNICE WINE-GROWING ROUTE

e route through the flatland of Podluží is 115 km long, with asphalt roads alternating with dirt roads. In several places it is possible to admire rural architecture of cellars. e southern part of the route leads to two well-known Slavic settlements of Pohansko and Valy u Mikulčic; the northern part enters the forested area of Dolňácko near Kyjov.

The Mutěnice area forms the border between the northern and southern Moravian wine-growing sub-regions. e mostly flat, 65 km long route through the gently undulating landscape of the Kyjov Highlands can be divided into two smaller circuits following well passable consolidated dirt roads.  ere are several short climbs leading to nice lookout points.

THE BZENEC WINE-GROWING ROUTE

THE STRÁŽNICE WINE-GROWING ROUTE

e shortest, only 26 km long route follows mostly roads of the 3rd class via the hilly area of the Kyjov Highlands, and near Bzenec and Vracov it enters the vale of Dolnomoravský úval. The circuit is connected to the Kyjov, Uherské Hradiště and Strážnice wine routes, and part of the route is parallel to the spinal Moravian wine route.

A 101 km long, winding road leading mostly along quiet roads, with about 20 km of consolidated or grassy dirt roads. e flat route rises up only in the White Carpathians foothills and in several parts of the Hlucká Higlands. anks to its rich branching, the route connects the Strážnice region with Podluží, Uherské Hradiště and Bzenec wine routes.

An ideal route for a day-long family trip is 75 km long and leads through a gently undulating hilly area along quiet roads and cycling trails. e heart of the route is Uherské Hradiště, the metropolis of Slovácko, from where it heads to Kostelany. In other directions, it is possible to continue to Polešovice along the Morava River or to the south to a spa town of Ostrožská Nová Ves and to Dolňácko.

If the weather is nice, w o rk i n th e v i n e y a rd starts with vine pruning which usually ends in February. In the winery, wine is being prepared for bottling – it is treated, i.e. clarified, filtered and stabilized.

Machines are being controlled, plants obtained for planting. Wine is racked to smaller barrels, empty barrels are washed and treated. In the vineyard, it is necessary to finish pruning and gather and burn the vine twigs.

Spring in the vineyard starts with ploughing off the soil that protected individual vine plants in winter. The soil is cultivated, shoots are tied to the wire support, and other small tasks are carried out.

In addition to routine work i n th e vi neya rd, wine makers evaluate wine, discuss them and take part in local and regional wine exhibitions. Most of the wine has been already treated and is prepared for bottling.

Vegetation period begins – after blossoming lush shoots appear. Wine growe rs tuck in the summer shoots and remove the lateral shoots.

By pruning the shoots and excess grapes wine growers reduce the load of vine plants and save their energy for production of healthy fruits. It is necessar y to weed and spray the vineyard.

The wineries prepare for upcoming vintage. Inspection in the vineyard is full of expectations – will the weather last until the harvest? In ideal weather conditions, first harvest can start at the end of August.

SEPTEMBER – VINTAGE Grape harvest is the most important part of the wine grower‘s year. Schedule of harvesting both early and late-season varieties is determined according to weather; ideally, with the content of natural sugars and acids in optimal ratio. From vineyards, the grapes are carefully transported to the winery where they are destalked and crushed.

While some young wines already ferment in cellars, late-season varieties are just harvested. Wine growers watch over the grapes inte nded for ice wine production.

St. Martin‘s wine In vineyards, soil is ploughed to the plants to protect the m from freezing during winter months. In the winery, wine makers treat and rack wine; some young wines are already prepared for the Christmas table. First young wines are blessed on November 11, St. Martin‘s day.

Cold winds from the Highlands together with thermo-regulating effects of the Dyje, Jevišovka and Jihlava rivers give the local wines the unmistakable spicy taste and full body.  anks to the alteration of sunny days and cool nights the grapes mature slower, however, they maintain aroma and reach top quality.

days of celebrations with fairs, knight jousting and rich parades in costumes. You certainly shouldn’t miss Znojmo, the Cross Wine Cellar in Přímětice, Painted Wine Cellar in Šatov, Šobes vineyard, Podyjí National Park, water mill in Slup and Rosa Coeli Monastery in Dolní Kounice.

INTERVIEW

PAVEL ŠPORCL: WINE IS NOT “THE FIRST TRIAL” DRINKING One of the most distinct and bestseller young Czech violinists is popular among all age categories of listeners. Already in the second annual he has become a patron of the Znojmo Music Festival and he still is. Pavel Šporcl gained many prominent awards, he gives concerts all around the world, cooperates with numerous local and foreign orchestras. However, every summer you can meet him in the South Moravian town of gherkins and wine and sometimes you can even listen to his violin on the street. On the beginning you have become the patron of the Znojmo Music Festival. How did that happen? I knew the festival president Jiri Ludvík as a violinist of the dulcimer music ensemble of Antonín Stehlík. When he told me about the possibility to become a patron of a new festival, I threw myself into work. I have been a patron since the second annual that means for five years. Can you outline the Znojmo Music Festival to those who haven’t heard about it? It is a festival, which excellently interconnects beautiful classical music with wine and the charming town of Znojmo. e organisers found there many glorious nooks and courtyards that a man would normally passed by. On top of that to connect music with wine is an excellent idea as it wonderfully enhances and humanises atmosphere of concerts. Every year the Festival celebrates one famous composer of classical music, who has some kind of anniversary. We had there Beethoven, Mozart, Händel… e festival atmosphere is so special and friendly that I look forward to it every year. Are there any compositions that would be directly inspired by wine? Of course I don’t know how much truth is in the famous movie Amadeus where Mozart drinks wine while composing. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it is so also in the case of other composers. It certainly can be, if not overdone, a great inspiration. How many and which wine makers have you met or even made friends with during your “patronage”? I have tasted tens or maybe hundreds of wines during the festival. However, “my” wine maker

not directly connected with the Znojmo region is Staňa Mádl from Velké Bílovice. Nevertheless, for the years when I come to the festival I found many other friends among wine makers, for example the Kořínek Family or Jiří Hamza from Hnanice. The great thing about Znojmo and this region is that there are many small wine makers and people who make wine for pleasure, or have their wine collections and invite me for wine tasting to their wine cellars. Are there any occasions when you wouldn’t do without a glass of wine? It is beyond doubt that wine is a potion for nice occasions. I don’t mean that in a snobbish way. It is necessary to be aware of the fact that “I drink wine” and not to take it as a common thing. To make atmosphere – maybe that’s the right word... e New Year’s Eve certainly goes well with sparkling wine. Otherwise I don’t care much which wine for which occasion. I rather care for what wine I just feel like. The Znojmo authorities dedicated to you one of the terraces in the new town vineyard on the slope below the church of St. Nicholas in Znojmo. Have you seen it and how do you like it? I haven’t been to the terraces yet and I don’t know if it is finished and ready to be planted. If it was up to me I would plant there Pálava - my favourite variety. Do you have any favourite varieties and what wine do you prefer in general? First of all good wine. Basically I don’t make difference between dry and sweet wines, because with the top wines it o en happens that according to the residual sugar content they are dry but they taste sweet and vice versa. For me is not the first taste what matters but to enjoy the inner content of every sip, because wine is not “the first trial” drinking. You have to seek in it various tastes that are countless and therefore this potion is so wonderful. Which famous composer or musician would you like to talk to and have a glass of wine with? It is hard to say, there are so many great composers… I am fascinated by Johann Sebastian Bach, so probably it would be him. His solo Sonatas and parts for solo violin are unbeatable.

MIKULOVSKÁ Pálava, the place with unrepeatable atmosphere stands out sharply from the slightly undulating countryside of the swamp forests by the lower Dyje River. e hillsides of limestone rocks are covered by the thick dri s of loess and calcareous clay, the southern part is characterised by thick layers of sand. Deep loess soil offers the vine a source of a wider spectrum of aliments for the aroma agents and more distinct tones of extract. erefore, Pálava gives wines with completely different character than other sub-regions and it is an ideal place within the North Panonia lowland. Already the Roman soldiers appreciated that fact and established the first Moravian vineyards. e wine-growing sub-region mikulovská is famous for Ryzlink vlašský (Italian

38/39

Riesling), which despite of its name has nothing in common genetically or historically with Ryzlink rýnský (Rhine Riesling), and it doesn’t originate in Italy either. In Pálava it gives fresh wines with a higher content of pleasant acids and the unmistakable mineral content. Müller urgau and Chardonnay do well there too. e soil with more clay in the Dunajovice Hills is suitable for the typical Mikulov variety – Veltlínské zelené (Valtelina Green). e Valtice region is also ideal for Neuburské (Neuburg) and Sylvánské zelené (Sylvaner Green). e environs of Pouzdřany give excellent Ryzlink rýnský (Rhine Riesling), Tramín (Traminer) and Pálava. Red wines are represented by Svatovavřinecké (St. Laurent), Zweigeltrebe and Frankovka (Limberger); newly planted French

varieties Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have the promising future there. ere are many places you must visit. Significant towns connected with wine are Valtice with the famous Wine Salon of the Czech Republic and the Mikulov chateau with an interesting wine-growing exhibition with a giant wine barrel. e real pearl is the Lednice-Valtice Composed Landscape, enrolled in the UNESCO World Heritage List as the largest artistically composed landscape in the world. e Pálava hills gave the name to the Pálava variety, wine of yellow golden colour with aroma resembling of roses and vanilla.

INTERVIEW

BARBORA SEIDLOVÁ: HAPPY MIND IS THE BASIS OF HEALTH Czech actress Barbora Seidlová was born in a sign of Gemini in Valtice, grew up in Mikulov. She studied conservatory in Brno and DAMU in Prague. Her first big film part came when she was fieen – princess in the fairytale Lotrando and Zubejda. Then followed the films Romeo, Julia and darkness, Snowboard guys, Bolero, Maharal – secret of a talisman, and TV series A place above, A place in life etc. Some time ago she finished the movie Odcházení (Leaving) directed by Václav Havel. Together with actresses Daniela and Nikola Zbytovská they founded the theatre company MALÉhRY, which is based in the eatre of Bolek Polívka in Brno. The Břeclav region is a clear synonym for winegrowing. What is your relation to wine? I was born in Valtice, I grew up in Mikulov. I cannot deny my roots, in Prague I lived in Vinohrady (Vineyards), I appeared as a guest in the theatre at Vinohrady (Vineyards), I love to spend my free time in the middle of vineyards and so ma life just curls between vineyards… Do you have your favourite varieties? Recently I went to a wine shop to get some wine and the owner asked me “And what wine do you like?” “Hmm…,” I said, “I like Rhine and Italian Riesling, Pinot Noir, Blanc and Gris, Valtelina Green and… (oh, there is no other colour), Traminer Red, Blue Portugal – that in particular…,” and I wanted to continue naming other colourful varieties. e man interrupted me “Oh girl, it might be quicker if you say what you don’t like?” Your mother is a wine-maker, what kinds of work on a vineyard or in a cellar do you manage yourself? I can do myself nothing at all. I had to try all the works when I was a kid and came to a conclusion that I could only live on eating grapes. If they would grew for me. I run from vineyards to the theatre, it is more a place for the final products. What wine do you make at home? My dad’s Portugal that is born with a big expert help from my mum is famous! It is always served at lunch, dinners, big and small celebrations, Christmas, Easter and New Year’s Eves and also our theatre opening nights! I help with wine-growing in such a manner that I consume wine conscientiously. Good

wine doesn’t need promotion, it promotes itself. When did you try wine for the first time? For the first time I went a er the carboy when I was still in a pram that my parents parked in front of a cellar. I still have a remembrance on my nose… later when I was five, I liked to secretly finish rests of wine after visitors. So I went through the alcohol inclination already when I was a small child – under my parent’s supervision. e authorial theatre MALÉhRY, of which you are a clearly visible part, has in its repertoire the play Pork, dumplings, cabbage or three sisters and Pepan. Is there any food you would never drink wine with? I like vegetable dishes, pasta and pizza and they always go well with wine. I think I do not eat food that doesn’t go with wine. Pork, dumplings, cabbage is only in the theatre repertoire, not in my menu. On the web site of your theatre it is mentioned that “you don’t drink”. Does it actually mean that you don’t get drunk? Exactly. We even used to use an additional name for the MALÉhRY theatre - “ascetic theatre”, what was a misunderstood joke saying that in comparison with bohemian life style of our colleagues we look like ascetics. We don’t miss anything when looking a er our health, but I wouldn’t mention doctor’s recommendations. ey are able to prescribe antibiotics for a cold whilst good slivovitz brandy with honey and lemon is much more effective and has pleasant side effects. Happy mind is the basis of your health! Do you ride a bicycle or you prefer hiking? Which routes around Mikulov are your favourite? I am a stubborn hiker! I don’t know if I can call it sport, the truth is that I spend nearly all my free time on the marked forest routes. e popular destination around Mikulov is Pálava of course. When I go there from any direction, the finish is always in my beloved Café Fara in Klentnice. Where besides Mikulov do you feel good? Why just there? In Brno. I fell good there. Why? I don’t know, it is just an irrational feeling. Women follow their feelings…

...TO TOP IT ALL Half a million years ago profusion of game and favourable climate lured the first inhabitants to South Moravia. Archaeological findings from many places confirm that Mammoth Hunters lived there, later first farmers and stock breeders, and the ironmasters and smiths established their settlements in the Bronze and Iron Ages. We also have proofs of the presence of the Romans, Celts, Germanic people and migratory Huns and Vandals. Dolní Věstonice, village on the Pálava foothills got famous thanks to the systematic research of the archaeological localities from the Palaeolithic period that was led by prof. Karel Absolon between 1924–1938. The Věstonice Venus, a small figure, which an unknown artist made from the mixture of h bones and clay ground mammoth rs ago, is not circa 25 000 years only a world rarityy but at the same time it is one of the very first proofs off prehistoric pottery. e permanent exposition in Dolní Věstonice called “Age of hunters and mamammoths”, branch of the Regional mu-seum in Mikulov,, documents the e overview of the e individual stagess of research and d methods used,, you can also see e a model of Palae-olithic dwelling.

7 | LOWER MORAVIA BIOSPHERE RESERVE  e worldwide network of biosphere reserves is a colourful mosaic of unique areas, declared by the UNESCO within the Man and Biosphere programme. What makes it different from the traditional reserves is its focus not only on environment protection but also on beneficial human activities in the countryside leading to a positive and sustainable development. Presently the Czech Republic has six biosphere reser ves – Šumava, Krkonoše, Křivoklátsko, Třeboňsko, White Carpathians and Lower Moravia. The latter reserve covering more than 300 square kilometres involves the vast limestone cliffs of Pálava with its highest peak Děvín (549 m) and several castle ruins, as well as the alluvial plain along the rivers Morava and Dyje. Unique swamp forests with

meadows, wetland, blind arms and pools near Lednice naturally flow into the large landscape park with a chateau in the English Neo-Gothic style.

The Baroque tree-lined roads lead from the chateau park through the fields, ponds, orchards and vineyards as far as Valtice – a former seat of the famous Liechtenstein family, or to ancient Mikulov, from where it is only a stone‘s throw to the cave in the Turold Hill. If you accept our invitation to the Lower Moravia Biosphere Reserve, you can discover one of the most beautiful cultural landscapes in the world. Lower Moravia opens its hospitable arms and offers its visitors various beauties of nature with many flora and fauna species, many historic sites, delicious wine and folk traditions kept for many centuries. www.dolnimorava.org

Mikulov has always been among the most important wine-growing centres of Moravia – and if you want to see for yourself that the town is still surrounded by vineyards from all sides, you should start the tour on the Holy Hill (Svatý Kopeček). e white limestone hill with the Baroque pilgrimage church of St. Sebastian and the Way of the Cross is the first dominant feature of the town. e sec-

ond one is the large Baroque chateau that houses the Regional Museum. e expositions depict the history of the castle and town, and the wine lovers can admire the probably largest local exposition of wine-making and viticulture. e rarity is a giant tithe wine barrel from 1643 with the capacity of 1,014 hectolitres, the oldest in Central Europe. e permanent exhibitions also present the literature Art in the Baroque chateau library and Art Gallery of Dietrichsteins, the family who lived in Mikulov from 1575 till the end of the 2nd World War. On the square you can see the Dietrichstein Crypt, originally the church of St. Anne. It was founded in 1623 as one of the oldest lorettas in Czechia and was adapted to the crypt a er a devastating fire.

weekend visitors can taste all wines in the permanent wine-tasting premises of the Wine Salon of the Czech Republic in the underground of the Valtice chateau. You can try the most successful wines within several wine-tasting programmes. Maybe you will prefer quiet solitude during so called free wine-tasting, when during 90 minutes you can freely try almost all wines from the Wine Salon.

cially lovers of higher quality wines will be pleased, however, fans of dry wine or those who want to try many samples from a wide spectrum of varieties grown in the country won’t be disappointed either.

When you say Valtice and a winery, everybody who at least knows something about wine, will certainly think of the oldest traditional and prestigious winery in the Czech Republic and Czechoslovakia – the Vinné sklepy Valtice (Valtice Wine Cellars) winery. However, this winery was built much earlier and stood by the birth of winegrowing in Valtice. e winery was built according to the model of the French wine dominion of the chateau type. e Lichtensteins - one of the most significant European noble families built there a unique wine-making complex of a European format matchless in its character, specialisation and size. is happened on the beginning of the 15th century, when the Lichtensteins found out that South Moravia offers excellent conditions for grape growing and wine making. e resurrection and unification of the wine-growing Dominion into the significant functioning unit in the world context is a success of the Vinné sklepy Valtice winery. Its wine label CHÂTEAU VALTICE then became a synonym for the top wine not only in Bohemia but all over the world. It is proved by many significant quality awards from the prestigious local and world wine exhibitions.

A wine store is found in the original gateway into the Valtice chateau in a former guardroom. e assortment includes mainly wines of the producers from Valtice. Daily it offers 20–25 samples including ice and straw wines for tasting. Seating for 20 persons.

WINE-GROWING SUB-REGION

VELKOPAVLOVICKÁ e countryside with broken relief, that north of the biggest wine-growing village of Velké Bílovice climbs the hills of the Hustopeče Highlands and then in the fertile lowlands slowly declines to Brno, is one of the sunniest and warmest places in the Czech Republic. It is no surprise that thanks to the ideal location, favourable climate and soil conditions grapes has been grown there already since the period of Great Moravian Empire. The first written mention about local wine-growing dates back to 1252, when Boček of Obřany gave a gi

representing a third of the yield from his vineyards in Pouzdřany, Zaječí and Pavlovice to the newly established Cistercian Monastery in Žďár. Velké

66/67

Pavlovice got famous thanks to the outstanding red wines, especially Svatovavřinecké (St. Laurent) and Frankovka (Limberger) that are born on the local loess-clay soil with ample magnesium. The northern part with sandy soil around Hrušovany and Žabčice is ideal for the white varieties – Veltlínské zelené (Valtelina Green), Rulandské šedé (Pinot Gris), Tramín červený (Traminer Red), Pálava and Muškát moravský (Moravian Muscat). The second biggest sub-region in the number of wine-growers and area of vineyards has an enormous potential in wine-tourism. e region involves Brno – the second biggest city in the country, very attractive destinations around Austerlitz, where in

1805 the famous Napoleon battle took place. Many other towns have had already for centuries the reputation of significant wine-growing centres, as for example Velké Bílovice, Hustopeče, Židlochovice or Čejkovice with the Gothic keep and Templar cellar. We mustn’t forget about Velké Pavlovice; did you know that just there on January 24, 1907 the first issue of the “Vinařský obzor”– the still existing professional monthly for viticulture, wine-making, wine sale and wine gastronomy – was published?

e Velké Pavlovice region is ideal for blue varieties.

INTERVIEW

JURAJ FLAMIK: I LIKE “MODRÉ HORY” Juraj Flamik, born in Slovakian Senica, has been since 1997 one of the souls of the Partnerství (Partnership) foundation, where he coordinates the Greenways programme. The foundation activities are well known among people from the Velké Pavlovice wine-growing subregion. Probably everybody knows the logos of the Moravian winegrowing routes or the Open Cellars Festival. Juraj Flamik is the lover and expert on wine and cycling, photography and hiking… Can you firstly introduce the Partnerství Foundation? e Partnerství Foundation is specific in the fact that it not only distributes money but it also helps the applicants to gain and use it effectively. is was the mission in 1999 when we started to bring the Moravian winegrowing routes back to life. We knew that the cycling routes through the picturesque wine-growing countryside will be popular and will bring a lot of tourists close to vineyards, wine cellars and wine shops. erefore, during every meeting with wine makers I used to say: you can sell the beauty of the wine-growing countryside and the magic of wine cellars just as well as wine; but if you want to make business with theses commodities you have to protect them and improve them. e project of the Partnerství Foundation is also the Open Cellars Festival... I submitted the idea for organising festivals in 2008; in 2009 we wanted to organise four of them – one in each season and always in another wine-growing sub-region and with different wine makers. e idea was simple: to offer to wine lovers a unique series of festivals, where they can in person meet wine makers directly in their cellars. Gradually they can meet not only the big and known wine makers but also the small ones that keep traditions of a family winery and their wine will never be in supermarkets and wine shops. e festivals are held in four or five neighbouring wine-growing villages and they present always the entire small winegrowing sub-region. I participated in all the festivals at full blast in the role of an organiser and I went through the majority of the cellars with a glass of wine. It is great to see how the idea changed into reality. What’s the difference between the Znojmo wine cellars dug in sandstone compare to the Kyjov region wine houses, the difference between wine-tasting in a small wine

68/69

cellar compare to a production hall of a big winery, how the messages about good wine spread among people and how on Sunday cars leave heavy loaded with boxes with wine bottles. Do you have any favourite place connected with wine-growing where you like to return to happily and o en? I like Modré Hory, as professor Vilém Kraus says, where villages spread like five fingers in the countryside. Velké Pavlovice, Bořetice, Kobylí, Vrbice, Němčičky. ere we organised the first Open Cellars Festival, because we trusted skills and experience of the local wine makers. Forty-two of them participated. Slightly undulating countryside offers breathtaking views over the slopes of vineyards and far sights to the Pálava, Chřiby and maybe as far as to the Alps. e Vrbice cellars at Stráž look like the Hobbits’ dwellings, Horní and Dolní Frejt in Bořetice with rows of cellars resemble traditional neighbourhood and friendship of Moravian wine makers. … a beautiful corner of Moravia! What wine do you prefer? I love to give my friends in Moravia and Slovakia the wines their quality I am sure of. ey are mostly wines made by modern technologies. In my mind they are associated with an atmosphere of professional winetasting. However, it is just as nice to open a bottle from a small wine maker marked only with a marker and to find out with a surprise that you cannot get anything like that from big wineries. I like wine with a bouquet, which matches with the taste, especially dry white wine and from these I don’t hesitate to name my favourite Rhine Riesling. What does the connection of cycling with the wine routes mean to you? I perceive cycling as the most popular mass relaxation activity and wine as an impression of certain quality of life. Together they create an elegant life style. From the viewpoint of wine and wine tourism promotion the National Wine Centre and the Winegrower’s Fund did a great job. I also hope that wine makers stay the same – one small, the other middle-size and a few big ones. I am happy that a lot of the small ones want to stay small, without them we would become a wine-growing industrial complex. A key to the success is to stick to the traditions and keep improving quality of wine.

Krumvíř is famous for preserving its traditions. e folklore festival of Haná Moravian Slovakia called „Region with no shades“ is famous worldwide, and the biggest cultural event is the St. Bartholomew Feast in folk costumes. e village is famous for production of scraped ornamented Easter eggs, pottery and woodcarving. Despite the fact that Krumvíř has in its seal also a symbol of winegrowers’ knife, we cannot assert that wine-growing has an ancient history in the region – the first written mention about a wine tithe dates back to 1723.

3 | BRNO If the symbol of South Moravia is grapevine, then its tendrils have been coming together in Brno since the time immemorial. e city that was founded on the crossroads of business routes today is a centre of several universities, significant government and nongovernment institutions including some highest state authorities and embassies of several countries.

e first written mention about the Brno vineyards dates back to the 13th century. Vineyards used cover the slopes around the outer districts, from which many have in their symbols various wine attributes – grapes, vineyard knifes and tubs. Vine was grown even on the southern slopes of Špilberk, but when the castle was turned into the military Baroque fortress, its slopes had to be bare for the defence reasons. Špilberk, once the most famous prison of the Habsburg monarchy, today houses the Museum of the Brno City. One of the most attractive places is the casemates with the prison exposition. Other dominant features of the city are the cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul and the Old City Hall. e vaulted driveway in the City Hall where you can find the legendary Brno Dragon is decorated by the Late Gothic stone portal. e City Hall Tower with the Renaissance gallery offers the bird-eye-view over the historic centre. In Brno you can also find the Tugendhat villa, the masterpiece of the world functionalistic architecture from

4 | HUSTOPEČE – EXPOSITION e dominant feature of the town, which already in medieval ages became a significant wine-growing centre, is the modern church of St. Wenceslas and St. Agnes of Bohemia. Its predecessor, Late Gothic church was destroyed during the 2nd World War and pulled down in 1961. e new church, an interesting double-floor structure on the spiral ground plan, was consecrated in 1994. e interior includes copies of elements of the old church; the peak of the spire is decorated by the stylish crown of St. Wenceslas. e Renaissance house “U Synků” in the centre houses the Town Museum and Gallery. In the reconstructed cellar you can visit the permanent wine exhibition from the wine-growing sub-region velkopavlovická and a wine store. You can see the tools for wine growing, making and storing as well as the information panels describing work in the vineyard all-year-round, wine production and the

1930 and at the same time the most significant building by German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in Europe, that was in 2001 enrolled on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Lovers of modern architecture also admire the Brno Exhibition Centre that thanks to the unique collection of functionalistic architecture is one of the most elegant exhibition grounds in the world. e first visitors entered its gates in 1928 and every year numerous international trade fairs and exhibitions are held there. Brno as the city of entertainment is represented by the Masaryk Racing Circuit, the stage of annual Grand Prix of motorbikes, golf course in Jinačovice, zoo with the permanent aquarium exposition or the museum of primeval age – Anthropos Pavilion, popular especially among the youngest visitors. Up to the present days you can find small vineyards in Brno; for example in the quarter of Vinohrady (Vineyards) or Bohunice. www.brno.cz

many centuries long tradition of wine-growing in the Hustopeče region. Found in the yard is the sculpture of wine yeast. If you want to try the local wines, then visit the wine store with several wine-tasting programmes, or go to some wine event. Held every year in Hustopeče is a number of events such as the wine competition “Hustopeče Seal”, the young and vintage wine shows, the Half-fermented Wine Festival or the St. Martin Wine Celebrations. www.hustopece-city.cz

...TO TOP IT ALL Once you came to South Moravia you shouldn’t miss the Moravian Karst. Extensive complexes of stalactite caves are among the most beautiful underground premises in the Czech Republic. Five of them are accessible to public – Punkevní cave with the 140 m deep Macocha Abyss, where a part of the tour is by boats on the subterranean Punkva River, Kateřinská cave, Sloupsko-Šošůvské caves and the caves Balcarka and Výpustek.

5 | VELKÉ PAVLOVICE e Velké Pavlovice region, one of the sunniest and warmest parts of South Moravia, has been settled already since the prehistoric times and various cultures alternated there until the Great Moravia

Empire. Several small settlements from the times before Christ were found there; the famous settlement from the Younger Stone Age with findings of Moravian painted pottery once stood directly on the today’s town site. During the last centuries the typical lifestyle around Velké Pavlovice meant to own a vineyard and a small wine cellar. Besides various historical wine cellars and wine press rooms that make the vineyard landscape so special, you can discover another

CASTLES interesting wine-growing site in the town. It is the wine press from 1816, placed in front of the building of the Vinium winery, the second biggest wine producer of the wine-growing sub-region velkopavlovická. Velké Pavlovice entered the history of our viticulture also thanks to the cultivation station that bred four new originally Czech grape varieties. e white varieties are represented by aromatic Pálava and Aurelius, blue varieties by Agni and André, wine with aroma of forest fruit. André was bred in 1961 by crossbreeding of Limberger and St. Laurent and got its name from Ch. K. André (1763–1831), who founded in Brno the first association for fruit breeding in the world and launched the interest in gaining new varieties via breeding. e most interesting sites include the Baroque church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, several smaller churches, and of course the most significant architectural site is the

Baroque granary, the technical structure dating back to 1770–1780. e five storey building of rectangular ground plan at the times of its glory had a capacity that would today represent circa 250 wagons of wheat. Presently the granary is a part of the project of the Centre of Moravian Viticulture and in the future it should house the hotel, restaurant, congress hall, wine store and a tourist information centre. www.slechtitelka.cz, www.velke-pavlovice.cz

7 | ČEJKOVICE The first written mentions about Čejkovice from 1248 are connected with the keep, built by the members of the Templar Knight Order. Čejkovice was the place where the Templars a hundred years before the reign of King Charles IV started to grow grapevine and built a large keep – the dominant feature of the village. Čejkovice was the most significant commendam of the Templar Order in Bohemian lands and the seat of the land knight commander. erefore the keep is unique for its significance, segmentation and size. Since 1998 it has served as a hotel and you can also visit the chateau wine gallery with a rich offer of local wines. Together with the keep the cellars were built, absolutely unique in their size in our country. eir height, width and length are still legendary; allegedly the knights could ride through the corridors on horses even with fully loaded carriages.

8 | BOŘETICE – THE INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC OF KRAVÍ HORA The first written mention about vineyards around Bořetice dates back to 1361. As there used to be a lake between the vineyards and the village, people started to build cellars directly under the vineyard slopes. Nowadays you could find about 260 wine cellars under the vineyards of Hliníky, Kraví hora and Zahraničí, which gradually created a cellar village with several streets. In summer 2006 a new look-out was build above Kraví Hora and in 2007 the wine yeast memorial was unveiled there. In 2001 the local winemakers made a practical joke and established the wine republic that attracts many visitors. The republic has its government with president, constitution, symbol, flag and currency, they even made contacts with neighbouring countries, for example the Valašsko Kingdom. The mosaic of varieties is rich. Loess clay is ideal for the red wines – especially Blue Portugal, Lim-

Grape growing and wine making issues from the historic roots of the Velké Bílovice region. The present successor, Petr Skoupil, has been making wine for more than 25 years. He uses his experience from wine making in Austria and France. Vineyards (35 hectares of own and 50 hectares of rented area) are farmed with a maximal respect to the needs of environment-friendly farming and thanks to this care they provide excellent grapes for wine production. The special attention is paid to the environment-friendly technology and reduced grape harvest. Thanks to attentive care the vineyard pays back with wonderful grapes. The precisely applied technology of controlled fermentation and subsequent maturation of selected batches of wine in barrels enables to reach the maximum quality of the final product. The yearly production reaches 600 thousand of bottles. Our wine will satisfy everyday requirements of a wine lover in a wide spectrum of expectations and delights. Hundreds of local and international awards for the last several years prove the top quality of our wine.

WINE-GROWING SUB-REGION

SLOVÁCKÁ Slovácko (Moravian Slovakia) lies on the southeast of Moravia on the border between the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria. e local folk costumes, songs, dances, traditional trades and customs enchanted many visitors – and the traditional wine growing and excellent wines go hand in hand with the local unique folklore. The wine-growing sub-region slovácká is really large and due to that has various nature conditions. You can find vineyards in the Morava River valley, in the hilly countryside of the White Carpathians or on the southern slopes of the Chřiby Mountains and Ždánický Forest. e sub-region also involves the environs of Uherské Hradiště, where you can find

96/97

the northernmost Moravian vineyards. Similarly as the colourful local folklore, the offer of wines is just as rich. Müller urgau, Ryzlink rýnský (Rhine Riesling), Veltlínské zelené (Valtelina Green), Rulandské bílé (Pinot Blanc) and Muškát moravský (Moravian Muscat) – the local variety bred in Polešovice – they all do well there. e red wines include mostly Frankovka (Limberger), Svatovavřinecké (St. Laurent), Zweigeltrebe and Cabernet Moravia – the variety bred in the village of Moravská Nová Ves. Those who want to see with their own eyes all places of interest in Slovácko, will travel forever. e significant wine-growing centres include Uherské Hradiště, Bzenec, Kyjov and Břeclav – the biggest

town in Slovácko, but also many small towns and villages. ey involve Mutěnice with the Research viticulture station, Strážnice, Čejč, Dubňany and Blatnice pod Svatým Antonínkem. The pearl of Slovácko is the complex of historic wine cellars called Plže; found at the edge of Petrov village. And did you know that Slovácko has had since 2003 its symbolic vineyard tree – serviceberry? You will certainly see it with your own eyes.

Slovácko has ideal soil for blue varieties as for example Cabernet Moravia bred in Moravská Nová Ves.

INTERVIEW

JAKUB TOMALA: WINE MAKES US TO TAKE OFF OUR MASKS Since 2005 the folk traditional men dance “verbuňk” from Moravian Slovácko has been enrolled on the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage and for the last two years Jakub Tomala, a high school teacher from Popovice, has been its uncrowned king. In 2009 and 2010 he won e Best Verbuňk Dancer competition that is every year a part of the International folklore festival in Strážnice. Jakub Tomala has been dancing since he was six years old. How did you get to dancing and especially to verbuňk? My parents brought me to dancing when they put me to the children’s folklore ensemble Kunovjánek. When I was about eleven, I started to learn verbuňk in the ensemble and from that time I regularly participated in children’s competitions. In Moravian Slovácko every boy probably knows how to dance verbuňk... When does fun turn into the “top” performance? It is true that in Moravian Slovácko verbuňk is very popular and is even getting more and more attractive among dancers. It is only about a talent of a dancer. Verbuňk is not only about dance, it is also about singing, so the ideal is the symbiosis of a talented dancer and good singer. Today the final in the Strážnice competition that is the peak of the verbuňk contest, is on such a high level that without training one could hardly fight through to it. I train every year according to my possibilities. However, a funny example can be my (non) training in 2007, when I trained only one day before the festival and finished on the second place. One year later I was training for three months and didn’t reach a medal yet. What can you “verbuňk” compare with? It is probably a very physically demanding discipline... I do a lot of sports – football, floorball, squash… However, verbuňk is hard to compare to. Despite the fact that it takes only three and a half a minute, you leave a stage out of breath and wet. e thing is that you sing, dance and sing again, so a er physical activity you have to catch breath for another strophe, a er

a slow part a quick one comes, and the dance finishes with high jumps and fast step variations. Folk dancing and traditions in general are especially in Moravian Slovácko connected with wine. What is you relation to wine? Our family doesn’t have a vineyard; nevertheless I think I am a lover of good wine. Besides dancing I also play in a dulcimer music band, thanks to which I met a lot of wine makers and a lot of good wine. Does wine help for a better performance when dancing? For sure wine belongs to folklore, music, singing and dance is no exception. However, if you go to a dance competition you have to be careful so you don’t try too hard to get rid of the “stage fright”. I always have a bit of wine before dancing. Good wine, especially red, helps to promote the blood circulation in vocal cords, singing is easier and it also reduces stage fright. A er nice wine you can in this special dance show more feelings, despite the fact that maybe a thousand spectators look at you and the expert jury watches over your every move. But as I said, everybody has to know his right measure, otherwise the dancer wouldn’t manage all difficult figures, jumped or turned. How much are the folklore celebrations connected with wine? Could they do without wine? I hope that my opinion won’t make an impression that folklore lovers are alcohol addicted, or that somebody would make a wrong impression that without alcohol you cannot have fun when listening to folklore music… However, good wine goes well with good folklore entertainment, people take off the masks of their roles they have to play in everyday life, time stops and during a charming folk song “all breathe as one”. You won’t forget the strong moments when you sing in the small hours a lyric song with a sad melody and you can see powerful men who sensitively sing and their eyes glitter with tears. I don’t want to be pathetic, it is not a sentiment, it is a deep experience from a folk song that can be enhanced by good wine.

According to the legend it was the seat of the Great Moravian archbishop St. Methodius. In 1205 the first Cistercian monastery in Moravia was established there. It got a name

Veligrad according to the village nearby from its founder – Moravian margrave Vladislav Henry. A hundred-metre long five-nave basilica, once the biggest church in Bohemian lands, is decorated by many paintings, standards and valuable gi s from pilgrims from the whole world.
