The Most Winery was brought back to life by Ing Ivan Váňa working for former Most State Farms in the village of Chrámce in 1967. In 1972 the vineyards covered 41 hectares. Cellars were built in order to start with wine production. In 1977 the vineyards started spreading on the warm slopes of Špičák Hill in Rudolice and a year later grape vine started to be planted on the former mining dumps that were then being recultivated.
History: Grape vines have been growing in České Středohoří (Central Bohemian Uplands) for more than 1,000 years. The natural wall of mountains surrounds the hilly basin and its slopes and are ideal for growing wine. The climate is also good. The geopraphical conditions of the local wine growing area can be compared to those in Burgundy and around the Rhine. Written records on wine production in Most are dated as far back as 1207 and in 1374 Most was given the right to produce wine by King Charles IV. The wine making industry flourished and wine from Most was exported to Saxony. At the end of the 16th century 80 percent of the inhabitants owned vineyards. A decline came with the Thirty Years' War and since the times of the Emperor Josef II the vineyard areas constantly decreased. After WWI there were no more vineyards in the Most region. Only beautiful basalt terraces survived.
