The award-winning winery near Valtice claims a resemblance to ancient inspiration
 |
Valtice - The authors of the architectural design of the Obelisk winery near Valtice in the Břeclav region draw inspiration from antiquity. The structure made of stone, concrete, oak wood, steel, and glass succeeded in the South Moravian Region Construction competition. In 2017, it placed second in the category of industrial and technological buildings. It has been fully operational since May this year, and today it was visited by interested parties during an open house.
Investors and architects aimed for the modern winery to blend in with the romantic structures built by the Liechtenstein family in the picturesque Lednice-Valtice Area. The proposal was therefore inspired by the same traditions and patterns.
"In our case, it is an inspiration from ancient temples transformed into an almost abstract form of a plate supported by three rows of columns - this pavilion, standing on a solid base, gently complements the green horizon of vineyards," the authors from the AiD team stated on the professional website Archiweb.cz.
According to information published in the South Moravian Region Construction competition, the winery's building required an investment of nearly 50 million Czech crowns.
The technology is located underground, as is traditionally the case in wine cellars. The glassed-in upper floor features tasting and representative spaces adorned with inlays by Czech-Ghanaian artist Natalie Perkof.
The Obelisk winery strives to combine traditional methods with modern production technologies. The winery's home vineyard is Hintertály, a southwest slope on the edge of Valtice, characterized by clay soils rich in calcium. The owners plan to cultivate up to 40 hectares in the future.
