    Wines From Moravia Czech Republic

    Dear Sir/ Madam,

    Let me take a chance to introduce you our winery Echinda Wines from Czech Republic WINE REGION MORAVIA (MORAVA).

    The Wine Region MORAVIA is highly promising for the production of white and red wines that combine an interesting spectrum of scents complemented by typical spiciness, which do full justice to the raw material emanating from the fertile Moravian soil. The interplay of nose and palate is underlined by a fresh acidity that can only encourage repeated tastings of these nicely balanced wines, each with its characteristic taste, specific to a single Moravian sub-region. Moravian red wines were always an integral part of the country diet and gave strength to the winemakers for their hard toil. These wines were never lacking in a genuine earthiness while at the same time they retained the fruity character of red wine. Lately the character of red wines has changed under the influence of applied modern technology, which endows them with greater suppleness. The picturesque landscape of the southern Moravian region together with the unique natural growing conditions endow its wines with a specific identity, which is the principal reason that interest in their unique qualities will not fade despite the presence of an almost inexhaustible choice of wines from around the world.

    The Wine Region MORAVIA lies between latitudes 48o40' north in the southern tip of Moravia and 49o20' north in the Brno area, and contains around 96% of the total area under vine in the Czech Republic. The average temperature over the year is 9.42°C, the average annual rainfall is 510mm and the average annual sunshine is 2.244 hours as verified by records going back 78 years and held by the experimental Vine Research Institute in Velké Pavlovice. In southern Moravia 80% of vintages are of good, very good and excellent quality, while only 20% of vintages count as poor. The climate is transient, inclining towards the continental with occasional incursions of damp Atlantic gusts or icy air from inland. Vegetation cycles are somewhat shorter than in the west of Europe, but in most years the higher temperatures during the summer months have a favourable effect so that the cultivation of late-ripening varieties giving wines of high quality is possible. Grape ripening occurs at a slower pace in Moravia and this is the reason the berries retain and concentrate a wide variety of aromatic substances.

    If you are interested in buying Moravian Wines please send us the query to receive free samples for tasting.

    Look forward to hear from you.
    Your sincerely,

    Re: Wines From Moravia Czech Republic

     

    The wines of the Czech Republic are not well known in international wine circles, but the wine producers of Moravia and Bohemia are working hard to change that.

    The high quality, award winning wines, both white and red, are winning support outside the Czech borders. The Danube, in southeast Moravia, provides the warmth and moisture that add up to an excellent grape wine crop on the more than 11000 hectares under vine. In Bohemia, north of Prague, protected slopes along the rivers Labe, Vltava and Berounka tributaries of the Elbe river, provide a base for a smaller region comprised of only 400 hectares of vineyards.

    White wines produced from from Müller-Thurgau, Riesling, Wälsch, Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Grüner Veltliner and Neuburger grapes make up a little over 74 percent of the wines. Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Sylvaner or Chardonnay are also grown, but these grapes account for a very small portion of the Czech whites. The white wines are light, aromatic and usually dry and there are some very good sparkling wines available.

    Red wines are produced from grapes such as Frankovka (Blaufränkisch), Vavrinecké (Saint-Laurent), Blauer Portugieser and Pinot Noir. A later addition, Cabernet Sauvignon, is quickly becoming more popular both with the wine makers and the wine drinkers.
