This wine area is similar to the prestigious wine producing regions of Champagne, Alsace, and Mosel. South Moravia lies at the 49th parallel, considered by international wine experts to be ideal for grape cultivation. The region's landscape is strikingly similar to the admired wine-growing region of Niederösterreich, in terms of terroir, climate, and soil composition.
Considered a continental “cool” climate, South Moravia is most suitable for producing aromatic white grape varieties, like Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling, and lighter red grape cultivars, like Blaufränkisch and Saint Laurent.
South Moravia further contains four distinct subregions, each with a particular microclimate and soil composition. The extra elevation and limestone soils of the Pálava Hills (protected landscape area) in Mikulov offer something particularly special to wines from the region, by creating “a distinct difference between the vineyards planted on those southern slopes compared with the vineyards planted on the plains. There is a quality difference, with some of the finest wines of today coming from the Mikulov subregion.” Podyji National Park is also a very important part of the wine growing and it’s close to Znojmo city, near the Austrian border.
A perfect reason for you to get acquainted with these unique wines from Moravia.

We source and carefully select wild and delicious natural wines from South Moravia in the Czech Republic, with exclusive focus on small and medium-sized winemakers. Only then we can guarantee you that there are no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers in our wines. You will be nicely surprised by the authentic and vivid taste of wines that have been made with minimal intervention and in harmony with nature. We are proud to say that among our natural winemakers you will find true pioneers who have eventually set the way for the younger growers in Moravia region.
Initially, we focused on the distribution of natural wines only. Through the friendship with our winemakers we have discovered a whole new and beautiful community of artisanal producers who very much support and help each other. And we realized there is more to enjoy and savor in the world of organic beverages. Therefore, nowadays we distribute natural wine and completely non-alcoholic birch sap.
WHO’S BEHIND?
Dušan is a passionate wine lover who founded the company in 2020.
His love for wine had started a way back in his childhood. As a little boy, born in the wine region of South Moravia, he tasted the first sips of wine together with his grandfather. This naturally created a special bond between him, the vineyards and the wine. He has always been a supporter of returning to the roots and working in harmony with nature. Dušan wants to spread awareness about great Moravian wine and support artisan winemakers. That's why he founded “a good year” with the will to offer the widest selection of Moravian natural wines in the Netherlands.
Natural wine production starts with organic viticulture. Winemakers farm organically or even biodynamically, without using any additives, or removing anything from the wine in the cellar. The grapes are hand-picked and there is no use of a machine. Wines are typically unfined and unfiltered, so they have more depth and they are still alive, with a juicier mouthfeel. The wines are more fruity and fresh with a beautiful aroma & flavor and because there are no additives and low levels of sulphite, they are also healthier.

A tradition has been showing the powerful body and mind cleansing qualities by drinking the birch water and purifying the blood in spring cures.
