Thaya Winery Fládnická Zweigelt, Producer
Thaya Winery, located in Znojmo (Moravia), is at the forefront of the Czech Republic’s wine renaissance. This modern, family-owned estate has earned a reputation for elegant, terroir-expressive wines from both native and classic grape varieties. The Fládnická vineyard series highlights individual parcels, with a strong focus on sustainable farming and minimal intervention in the cellar. Zweigelt, a cross between Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent, is particularly well-suited to the region’s cool climate and limestone soils.
Thaya Winery Fládnická Zweigelt, Terroir & Winemaking
The Fládnická vineyard sits on limestone and loess soils, promoting excellent drainage and producing bright, aromatic fruit with lively acidity. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a gentle fermentation in stainless steel to preserve purity. A short maturation in neutral oak barrels adds texture and softens the tannins without imparting overt oak influence, ensuring the grape’s varietal character shines through.
Thaya Winery Fládnická Zweigelt, Tasting Notes
Fresh aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and violets leap from the glass, intertwined with hints of white pepper and a subtle earthiness. The palate is juicy and lithe, with soft, silky tannins and a refreshing backbone of acidity. A mineral-driven finish lingers with a savoury touch, making this a versatile and elegant food wine.
