GRAPE VARIETIES GROWN
Originally Mělník had a large number of old Middle-European grape
varieties. Apart from the traditional Burgundian varieties
cultivated here, the Riesling, Saint Laurent and Blauer Portugieser
vines were introduced in the 19th century. The district of Mělník is
a typical site for the cultivation of black grape varieties with
which it creates its own terroir. 60% of the wine produced by the
Lobkowicz Château Winery is red and 40% white.
Black grape varieties:
Pinot Noir, Saint Laurent,
Zweigeltrebe and BlauerPortugieser
White grape
varieties:
Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Traminer,
Chardonnay Moravian Muscat and Müller-Thurgau
The oldest vines were planted 40 years ago, however the vineyards
are constantly being replanted.
