The favourable morphology of the local terrain exposes the vines to sufficient sunlight and air flow, which is essential for the development of quality and healthy grapes. The subsoil, made up of decomposed volcanic tuff mixed with basalt stones, boulders and basalt outcrops, creates a soil with a unique mineral composition, which is then reflected in the wine.

It is the westernmost producing vineyard in the Czech Republic. Due to the cooler climate, higher than usual altitude (335 - 380 m above sea level) and proximity to the Ore Mountains, the vineyards sometimes face late spring frosts (e.g. 2020 - complete freezing, 2024 - partial freezing). 

The old varieties have the phenological ripening of the grapes (and thus the harvest) shifted to later autumn dates, which allows the grapes to ripen to ideal to peak parameters. Quality grapes then allow me to create wines with specific complex flavours/aromas and also higher acidity, which is becoming a "scarce commodity" in classical wine regions such as Moravia, let alone Italy. However, the late harvest means a dependence on favourable autumn weather, which is not the rule ... However, even with these difficulties, the wine of each variety of each vintage is and will be different in its expression, which is the greatest reward for the wine connoisseur.

The vineyards have been farmed in a certified organic regime since the beginning and without the use of copper sprays. As much as possible I have tried to preserve the habitats on the land (draws, old trees, shrubs) and perhaps even contributed to the creation of new ones (stone piles and rows). This is, in my opinion, a gentle approach to maintaining and, more likely, already restoring biodiversity in a landscape plundered by today's notion of "agriculture".
