Producer Profile

Vína Herzánovi

The Herzánovi winery is a testament to the power of family, passion, and sustainable winemaking. Founded in 1997 by Jakub and Zuzana’s father, the winery has evolved into a thriving family business. Jakub and Sandra Herzán, both trained winemakers, met while pursuing their studies at a nearby winemaking college. Their shared passion for winemaking and their commitment to sustainable practices have shaped the unique character of their winery. One of the distinguishing features of Herzánovi wines is the use of Georgian qvevri, traditional earthenware vessels, for a portion of their winemaking process. This technique, influenced by Jakub's interest in maceration, imparts a distinctive flavor profile to the wines.

Where The Wines Come From

Moravia

Moravia, situated in the southeastern part of the Czech Republic, is gaining recognition as a burgeoning region for natural winemaking. With its diverse terroir, including rolling hills, river valleys, and volcanic soils, Moravia provides an ideal environment for sustainable viticulture. Natural winemakers in the region prioritize organic and biodynamic farming methods, cultivating indigenous grape varieties such as Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, and Blaufränkisch with minimal intervention. By eschewing chemical additives and focusing on natural fermentation, they produce wines that reflect the region's unique character. Moravia's natural wines are known for their purity, elegance, and expressive fruit flavors, with whites offering crisp acidity and floral aromatics, and reds showcasing ripe berry notes and earthy undertones. As the demand for authentic and terroir-driven wines continues to grow, Moravia remains at the forefront of the natural wine movement, offering a taste of the Czech Republic's rich winemaking heritage and innovative spirit with each bottle.
