Vineyards of Straznice
The vineyards of Straznice are situated on the slopes of "Bile
Karpaty" mountain, composed of heavy clay soils and retaining sufficient
level of soil water. White wines as "Rulandske sede" [Pinot gris],
"Muller-Thurgau", "Veltlinske zelene" [Veltlin green] and
especially "Rulandske bile" [Pinot blanc] reach the top quality. Blue

city, was important centre of the wine trade in a past.
The state sanctuary is located at the bottom of Bile Karpaty, in a little village
Petrov and wine cellars, called Plze, are the best known part of the reservation.

vineyards slopes between Straznice and Hodonin, represent one of the most known
