This breathtaking location was chosen for the construction of a winery house, which has grown in the middle of the vineyards and you can see all the way to Pálava. The vineyards stretch at an altitude of 248-287 m above sea level and cover an area of 4 hectares. The track is oriented southwest and is the only one that hosts all of our 3 white varieties.

Selection of berries

Riesling 2021

Luscious composition, aromatic juice of ripe peach, manuka honey and sweet pear.

Lime cordial freshness cuts throught the massive concentration. It is fresh mango and candied pineapple what takes centre stage.

Riesling 2021

Vesnice Kurdějov

Riesling 2021

Delicate forsythia flowers, lime and green apple on the nose.

On the palate thrilling and alive, from fresh to candied fruits. Limes, white grapefruit and pineapple. Hints of summer honey spill over the taut edges.

Amazing texture, concentration, purity and boundless energy, but the real winner here is the mouth-watering saline thread that refuses to let you spit!

Intense and inviting. Creamy fresh pear with white pepper and thyme plays on the nose.

Gurdau wines celebrated in the world as well. James Suckling review

"i always asked myself where the daring and exciting Czech wines were, and now we have the answer in the latest Gurdau offering"

"...the most remarkable of them is the Gurdau Riesling Stará Hora 2021, a dry Riesling that reminded Stuart of a top Wachau wine, but with fresher acidity.

Although Gurdau was founded back in 2012 by Zdeněk Hort and Marek Sedláček, the winery has recently been transformed by the completion of an innovative winery building designed by Aleš Fiala.
It not only houses the winery but also apartments and wine bar. Private fine dinning experience is on offer as well. Gurdau is a winery with a triple focus. Riesling. Veltliner. Pinot blanc.
