REISTEN

Reisten as a company emerged in 1991 as a joint venture of three friends in business. The Reisten winery came to life in 1999 and the original idea was that the winery´s production will be around 25.000 bottles a year and that all grapes shall be purchased from vintners. In 2000 the inner strategy has changed and the winery bought and planted their own vineyards. The owners had realized that if they want to make better and better wines, they have to grow their own grapes. The first vintage made entirely from their own grapes was 2005.

Today the Reisten wines are known for their very distinct character reflecting the terroir of the Pálava region. They have very high minerality, sometimes even a hint of saltiness. The wines are usually very extractive, noble and serious. An important person in this winery is Radek Nepraš, who is not only setting the marketing strategy of the winery, but is also the oenologist here. Almost single-handedly models the grapes in the vineyard as well as in the cellar and greatly influences the final result.
