Moravia, or Morava in Czech, is Czechia's principal wine region. Its four subregions are Znojemská, Mikulovská, Velkopavlovická and Slovácká. Atlantic humidity meets cold continental air here, and slow ripening helps grapes retain and concentrate their aromatic compounds. Moravian wines are often noted for fruit, spice, rich aromatics and a full, harmonious character. Quality developed substantially after the 1995 wine law.
The four subregions have distinct strengths. Mikulovská is mainly white-wine country, with calcareous soils, clay and sand suited to Welschriesling, Grüner Veltliner and Sauvignon. Warm winds and magnesium-rich soils favor reds in Velkopavlovická, especially Frankovka and Modrý Portugal. Slovácká's higher vineyards give fresh, aromatic wines with gentle acidity, while Znojemská, in the west, is known for aromatic whites. Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Pálava, Pinot Blanc and Muscat varieties are also grown across Moravia.
