- Kutná Hora Wine Cellars is the second-largest winery in Bohemia and the first in the Czech Republic to receive Demeter certification for biodynamic wines.
- Winemaker Lukáš Rudolfský says biodynamic winemaking is more common abroad, including among a tenth of Austrian wine producers.
- The headline highlights his account of how harvest timing, the Moon and homeopathy affect cider fermentation and winemaking.
Harvest the grapes at the right moment, and the cider can ferment with striking force, winemaker Lukáš Rudolfský says. His account links the process to the Moon and to homeopathic preparations.
Rudolfský speaks for Vinné sklepy Kutná Hora, described as the second-largest winery in Bohemia. The winery also became the first in the Czech Republic to receive the strict Demeter certification for biodynamic wines.
Biodynamic winemaking remains far more common abroad, he says. In Austria, one in ten wine producers uses the approach.
The interview with iDNES.cz presents biodynamic methods through Rudolfský’s experience, including the role he attributes to harvest timing, lunar influence and homeopathy.
