Vinné Sklepy Kutna Horá | Biodynamic estate winery in the Kutná Hora region of the Czech Republic. It was founded by Stanislav Rudolfský in 2002. His son Lukás Rodolfsky handles sales.
Vineyards | 54 hecares (133 acres) of grapevines of which 15 hectares (37ha) of Pinot Noir. Also Red Traminer, Saint Laurent and Pinot Gris. A bedrock rich in minerals is said to give spiciness to the wines.
