Wine

Our botanical garden embarked on a journey following the almost 800-year-old history of the vineyard when it took over its management in 1995. The first wine of this new era, which visitors could taste, was the vintage of 2004. Until 2008, we processed the grapes at the Chloumek winery in Mělník. However, since the harvest in 2009, we have been processing the grapes in our cellar, equipped with modern technology.

The grapes achieve a remarkably high quality thanks to the excellent terroir and the efforts of the vineyard workers. The produced wines are the result of harmonizing the traditional methods of grape cultivation with modern, reductive winemaking techniques. We produce mostly varietal wines, but each year we also create several cuvées. We place great importance on a minimum two-year aging process in oak barrels for our red wines.

Our wine production includes varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Blauer Portugieser, Müller Thurgau, and Gewürztraminer.

The local white wines are renowned for their varietal purity, lively acidity, and refreshing character.

Sparkling wines of St. Claire

Wine lovers can buy the novelty from December 2023, which we repeated after the successful first limited trio. These are sparkling wines produced in collaboration with Proqin Velké Němčice using the traditional bottle fermentation method. These wines have matured in the bottle for 15 months.

The production of sparkling wine is very time-consuming. Wine cannot be rushed, so after the initial fermentation, our wines were transported to Moravia. The wines are filled into sparkling wine bottles with the addition of a tirage liqueur (mixture of sugar and yeasts) and then sealed with a crown cap. In the bottle, a second fermentation takes place, and the carbon dioxide produced during fermentation remains trapped in the form of bubbles in the wine.

Our sparkling wine was left to rest on the lees for 15 months to achieve greater complexity and elegance.

Our current selection includes the following types of quality sparkling wines made using the traditional bottle fermentation method:

Pinot Noir – Blanc de Noir, Brut Nature

Total acidity: 6.3 g/l
