Velké Bílovice · Moravia · Czech Republic
Wine is just an idea that happens to come in a bottle
Velké Bílovice is the biggest wine village in the Czech Republic, and Milan’s family vineyard there has a proper backstory. Taken away under communism, handed back after the Velvet Revolution in 1989, and rebuilt from almost nothing by his father. Milan grew up in those rows and has been bending the rules of Moravian wine ever since.
In the vineyard it’s organic farming on loess and clay. In the cellar it’s wild yeast, no fining, no filtering and barely a whisper of sulfur. None of it is precious, though. His bottles are called things like GinTonic, TRBLMKR and WTF, and he’d much rather you drank them than analysed them.
The wines drink like the guy who makes them: loose, energetic, a little unpredictable, always honest. Some are built for a Tuesday dinner, some for arguing about at 1 am.

What we pour
- Běl, Okr, Růž and Nach: the one-litre gang. White, orange, pink and deep red, made for pouring generously on a random Tuesday.
- Dopamin: his ever-changing white solera. A slightly different mix every bottling, and somehow always itself.
- Hedonista: a skin-contact white he calls an ode to finding joy in small things.
- Postmoderna: years of Blaufränkisch experiments arguing it out in one friendly blend.
Pour them with us at Momentine Wine Bar, or get in touch for trade samples and prices.
