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.

Architect Antonio Gaudí dedicated his whole life to Sagrada

The temple is the main building of the famous Catalan architect Antonio Gaudí. The construction of the cathedral according to the design of architect Francis de Paul del Villar began in 1882, but at the end of the following year the work was taken over by Gaudí. After his death in 1926, construction continued according to his plans.

A perfect fusion of Gothic and Art Nouveau

The cathedral carries elements typical of Gothic and Art Nouveau style, although some deviations are noticeable. You would expect to find chapels here that were commonly found in medieval temples. Unfortunately there are none. The luxurious building is surrounded by a rectangular covered hallway. The chessboard system of the city impacted the shape of the whole building and, compared to traditional cathedrals, the Sagrada Familia is noticeably shorter in length. Another special feature is 3 different facades and portals. The masterpiece is 170 meters high. It contains 18 towers – twelve apostles, four evangelists, and the Virgin Mary with Jesus. Biblical symbolism is clearly incorporated into this building.

Where can you find it?

The luxurious building is located on the eastern coast of Spain in Barcelona. Not far from the cathedral is the Casa de les Punxes, a modernist building from 1905, referencing to the Gothic style, or Torre Agbar, the modern Barcelona skyscraper with a height of almost 150 meters.

The greatest treasure of the temple?

Perhaps the most amazing work of art are the 3 luxury magnificent facades symbolically facing three cardinal directions. Birth – Northeast, Martyrdom – Southwest and Resurrection – Southeast.

Sagrada Familia, along with other works by Antonio Gaudí, is on the UNESCO list. We will see if the assumption that it will be complete by 2026 is correct.
