The Whites
Bzenecká lipka

A Rieisling-style wine from South Moravia. Very light.

Müller-Thurgau

Developed by (surprise!) a Mr. Muller of Thurgau village. A good all-round wine, slightly dryish with an interesting yellowish-green colour. Most of the coopoeratives produce it because of its constant qualities.

Neuburské

A rich, strong white. Not for summer drinking, but good with game dishes (or, indeed, certain games.)

Pálavské

A blend of a Riesling and a rich, almost spicy wine - Veltinske. The result is a very aromatic, rich wine.

Rulandské

Pleasant gold colouring with a French feel about it. Rich and medium-dry. A standard.

Rulandské Grey

Uncommon, aromatic, strong, quality wine.

Ryzlink Rýnský

Another standard. Golden with a pleasant bouquet. Good to drink in hot weather and with fish dishes. Moravian versions are the best.

Ryzlink Vlašský

(Pronounced "Vlashskee"), another summer drink, light and pleasant with a fresh aroma.

Sauvignon

Different from its French relation, but still a rich and spicy wine. Very good, fruity taste.

Sylvánské Green

Green, with a gentle bouquet. Rich, spicy taste.

Tramín

Colloquially known as a 'ladies wine'. Golden and, initially, strange-tasting, spicy wine. Sweetish wine more suitable for desserts.

Vetlínské Green

Interesting, very spicy wine. More of an acquired taste. Light colouring with a strong aroma.

Zlatý hrozen

A blend of Ryzlink, Sauvignon, Rulanske and Tramin. The result is a pleasing yellow wine with a gentle spicy flavour.

The Reds
Frankovka

Deep red, fruity. A red standard. Ones bottled in 'Velke Pavlovice' are generally best.

Portugal

Dark red, mellow wine.

Rulandské

Rich, deep-red velvety wine.

Vavřinecké

Rich, deep-red velvety wine.

Zweigeltribe

Pleasing, strong red. Good with roast meats. Not as common as the above wines.
