What's the Magic of St. Martin's Wine: What You Didn’t Know About It!
Saint Martin as a symbol
Traditionally, the first St. Martin’s wines are opened on November 11 in many places in the Czech Republic. The wine received its name after the regular opening and first tasting of wine on the day of St. Martin. The name has been used since the time of Joseph II. when it was associated with welcoming of new wine with cheerfulness and fabulous food.
Strict criteria
St. Martin's wine is subject to strict rules, and not every wine can be considered St. Martin's. The wine is always poured from the bottle and never from the barrel. The label must bear the logo of St. Martin's wine - the mark of St. Martin riding a white horse. In addition, each bottle must be equipped with a prescribed flap with the inscription St. Martin’s and the throat is marked with the vintage date.
St. Martin’s wine playing the leading role of autumn
St. Martin’s wine is young and very fresh. Grapes from clearly defined varieties are used for the production. White St. Martin’s wine can be selected from Müller Thurgau, Red Veltliner Early or Moravian Muscat. Rosé wines and clarets are made from Zweigeltrebe variety, St. Laurent or Blue Portugal. For the production of red wines, Blue Portugal and St. Laurent wine grapes are used.
A charming palette of colours. Wine that hides unseen!
Luxury St. Martin's wine dominates with a wide variety of colours, scents and flavours. White Saint Martin's wine is fresh, balanced, fruity with a pleasant scent.
