Valtice The first stands with this year’s burčák appeared on Thursday in several places in South Moravia. Miloslav Machuča from Valtice, who grows grapes almost exclusively for the production of burčák, was one of the first to start selling burčák. He expects to sell by mid-October, he told CTK.
Burčák march? Only on its own, a popular tradition has dealt a blow to coronavirus |
“Last year, we started selling on August 4, and a year before that, even on August 1, when the law allows it. We start with Irsai Oliver, followed by Moravian Muscat and Veltlin in the autumn, “Machuča, who grows grapes on six hectares of vineyards, told ČTK.
Due to the detour of the repaired bridge over Nové Mlýny, he had to change his traditional position on the route to Mikulov this year as well. One of the stands with Machuč’s burčák stands on a detour near Dolní Dunajovice, the other in Lednice and Valtice.
“We have 500 liters of burčák for each day, we not only sell ourselves, but we also supply other sellers,” Machuča added. According to him, the grape harvest is still good, they had enough water and sun.
Burčák is one of the healthiest drinks. But it is very difficult to get drunk, says the sommelier |
This is also confirmed by the chairman of the Winegrowers’ Association, Tibor Nyitray. “These days, the first collections of early varieties, such as Solaris, Irsai or Moravian Muscat, are beginning, and larger areas will be harvested next week. According to my information, for example, Solaris has a sugar content of up to 18 degrees, the grapes are nicely ripe and aromatic, “added Nyitray.
Only a drink made from Czech grapes may be described as burčák on the Czech market. If it is produced from foreign, it must bear the designation partially fermented grape must. By law, the first burčák may be sold on August 1.
