SPRINGS
Continuing the legacy of Moravian winegrowing—where the Morava River meets the Chřiby Mountains.
Vinařství Prameny is located on the northern edge of the Morava wine region, just a few kilometers east of Uherské Hradiště, in the village of Polešovice [^65^][^66^]. The landscape here is dominated by the Morava River and the Chřiby Mountains, which create a balanced and distinctive climate perfect for viticulture [^66^].
Low rainfall, steady winds, and frequent autumn fogs provide ideal conditions for growing grapes. But what truly sets Prameny apart is their commitment to organic and biodynamic principles—they were the first winery in the region to manage vineyards according to organic production rules [^66^].
Operating on just 2 hectares, Prameny is a small, family-run winery that proves scale is no barrier to quality and environmental stewardship. Their approach draws from permaculture, biodynamics, regenerative agriculture, and agroforestry—going far beyond simple organic certification [^66^][^72^].
"True balance in nature cannot be achieved simply by following regulations. That is why we go further."
Prameny's vineyards are managed in harmony with nature. They apply practices that promote cooperation between naturally occurring organisms, drawing inspiration from permaculture, biodynamics, regenerative agriculture, and agroforestry [^66^].
Their Riesling (Ryzlink rýnský) is grown exclusively on historically proven locations—places carefully chosen and verified by generations before them. Knowing that Riesling is exceptionally demanding of its site, they trust the wisdom accumulated over decades of Moravian winegrowing [^66^].
All work is done by hand, including selective grape harvesting into small crates. No irrigation systems are used. They care for the soil and ecosystem with respect and a long-term vision, understanding that healthy vineyards are the foundation of expressive wine [^66^].
Biodynamics
Regenerative
Agroforestry
The Morava River and Chřiby Mountains create a climate of low rainfall, steady winds, and autumn fogs.
The River
The Morava River dominates the local landscape, providing water and influencing the microclimate. Its presence helps create the cool, balanced conditions that Riesling loves. The river valley shapes the character of wines from this northern edge of the Moravia wine region [^66^].
The Mountains
The Chřiby Mountains rise nearby, creating a rain shadow effect that results in low rainfall—perfect for healthy grapes. The mountains also generate steady winds that ventilate the vineyards and reduce disease pressure naturally [^66^].
Autumn Mists
Frequent autumn fogs extend the growing season, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors while maintaining acidity. This combination of factors—river, mountains, fog—creates the distinctive character of Prameny wines [^66^].
Riesling from the sources of nature and tradition—expressing the soul of Moravian terroir.
Ryzlink Rýnský
Over 90% of production. Long cultivation practice and consistent grape quality across vintages confirm that the local soil and climate are exceptionally well-suited to this variety. Grown exclusively on historically proven locations carefully chosen by generations before [^66^].
Moravian Whites
While Riesling dominates, Prameny also works with other traditional Moravian varieties. Their commitment to single-vineyard expressions means each wine reflects its specific plot within the 2-hectare estate—true terroir wines from the northern edge of Moravia [^66^][^72^].
Visit & Tasting
2.5-hour experience including viewpoint overlooking Polešovice, cellar tasting on Vinařská Street, and local refreshments (bread, cheese, Moravian smoked meats). Learn about the region's wine history from origins to present. Czech and English guided [^64^].
The Prameny Way
Every wine reflects their core values: dry-farmed vineyards (no irrigation), hand harvesting into small crates, selective picking for quality, and ecosystem harmony. "Rieslings from the sources of nature and tradition"—the winery's guiding principle [^65^][^66^].

Moravia's Organic Pioneer
Vinařství Prameny represents a new chapter in Moravian wine—one that honors tradition while embracing regenerative agriculture. As the first certified organic winery in the region, they've proven that Moravia can produce world-class Riesling through sustainable, low-intervention farming [^66^].
Their 2-hectare estate may be small, but their impact is significant. By combining ancestral knowledge with permaculture, biodynamics, and agroforestry, they're creating a model for the future of Czech viticulture. In a country known for beer, Prameny is helping put Moravian Riesling on the map—one hand-harvested crate at a time [^65^][^68^].
