Overview

Nešpor & Rajský is a boutique winery in South Moravia combining tradition and modern natural wine philosophy. Founded in 2010 by veteran winemaker Jan Rajský together with his nephew Jaroslav Nešpor, the estate is dedicated to producing pure, expressive wines that reflect local soils, climate, and grape varieties.

The winery emphasizes natural viticulture and strives to minimize chemical inputs, relying instead on biological sprays and cultural methods to support vine health. They favor hand-harvesting, reduced yields, and delayed picking to achieve full phenolic maturity.

Viticulture

  • Farming Philosophy: Strict avoidance of conventional chemical treatments. Only biological and herbal sprays are used to bolster vine immunity.

  • Soil & Vine Density: High vine density (~10,000 vines per hectare) promotes deeper root systems.

  • Vineyard Maintenance: Partial grassing between rows with flowering species to retain moisture and attract pollinators.

  • Harvesting: Grapes are picked by hand in small containers at optimal ripeness to protect skins and allow sorting.

  • Yield Control: Green thinning (cluster removal) begins in winter pruning to concentrate quality.

Winemaking

  • Intervention Level: Minimal. Wines are made with low sulfur, no fining or filtration, and without foreign additives.

  • Fermentation: Uses both native and selected yeasts, depending on the style.

  • Aging:
      • Red Wines: Matured 2–3 years in barrels
      • White Wines: Aged for several months on lees

  • Wine Styles: Focus on natural and biodynamic expressions, including white, red, orange, and skin-contact wines.
