Winery DVOŘÁČEK LTM, s.r.o. (Lubomír, Tomáš, Martina) is a small family business that has been engaged in grape growing and quality wine production for over two decades. As the name suggests, the business is owned by Lubomír Dvořáček from Mikulčice and his adult children – Tomáš and Martina. As a member of the COLLEGIUM VINITORUM association from Moravska Nova Ves the owner has been producing high-quality wine since 1996 and on a professional basis since 2000.
COLLEGIUM VINITORUM is an association of wine makers from the villages of Moravská Nová Ves and Mikulčice located in the southernmost part of the viticultural region of Podluží. The roots of the association date back to 1968 when a group of wine makers began their regular meetings with the intention to evaluate their wines, in order to avoid mistakes, imperfections, and to make the best possible wine.
In 1998 the association agreed on the common use of the same label, advertisements, promotional activities, and wine offerings.
A contract for the open association was finalized and its trade mark was registered in the year 2000.
The members of the association specialize in the production of high-quality Moravian wines. The established principles are followed not only during wine making but also during the grape growing season. Only the best young plants are used for planting vineyards. The plants are cut to have no more than one trunk and one horizontal spur. Older vineyards are grassed and all vineyards are fertilized with either organic or green manure. Before chemical protection is applied we always closely monitor the presence of various diseases and pests, while respecting the principles of integrated production. The yields are strictly reduced and the harvest itself is put off as late as possible in order to reach our desired sugar content. State-of-the-art technologies are utilized in wine-making so that the final product is of the best quality.
Each wine produced under the common label must pass an evaluation process in order to secure the highest quality of offered wines. The association‘s foremost mission is to produce a unique natural drink. The association COLLEGIUM VINITORUM has 15 members, working on more than 15 hectares of vineyards and producing more than 80.000 bottles of wine annually.
