GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION
The vineyards of Mělník lie approximately 35 km north of Prague
at an altitude of 200 metres above sea level. Mělník forms part of
the Czech wine region, one of the northern-most viticultural areas
of Europe. The vineyards of Bohemia do not form a contiguous wine
region but consist of several vine growing districts situated on the
south-facing slopes of the valleys of the rivers Elbe, Vltava,
Berounka and Ohře, each with its particular microclimates. The vine
growing district of Mělník has 160 hectares under vine making it the
largest vineyard area in Bohemia.
