Lahofer Charmat Extra Dry is a new product from the LAHOFER winery – a white sparkling wine from the 2024 vintage, whose name refers to the Charmat method used in its production. It is a cuvée made from 80% Grüner Veltliner and Müller Thurgau and 20% Pinot varieties. The result is a sparkling wine with a fruitier, fresher style, a finer structure and an elegant but still very accessible taste.
Production:
The Charmat method, or tank method, means that secondary fermentation takes place in a pressurized stainless steel vessel rather than in the bottle. This allows the wine to retain its delicate floral and fruity aromas, giving it a fresh, light character and pleasant effervescence with larger bubbles. This is why this method is popular for young and aromatic wines – and it is also perfectly suited to the style that LAHOFER has created for this wine.
Tasting profile:
Aroma: Delicately floral and fruity.
Taste: Fruity, fresh; sweet, Veltliner acidity, brioche, butter, citrus, summer apples.
Finish: Slightly mineral, elegant.
The taste is dominated by the fruitiness of Müller-Thurgau and the fresh acidity of Veltliner. The Pinot varieties then add a subtle hint of brioche, butter, citrus, and summer apples, all rounded off with a slightly mineral finish. The result is complex but still uncomplicated – with a pleasant impression of sparkling elegance and great drinkability. Ideal for light drinking, summer gatherings and informal celebrations.

About the LAHOFER winery:
The LAHOFER winery is one of the most important wineries in the Znojmo region and is named after Jan Lahofer, a native of Dobšice and an artistic woodcarver whose famous carved library is now part of the Strahov Monastery in Prague. It was the story of this local craftsman that inspired the winery to name its brand after him.
The company's roots date back to 2003, when it was founded in Znojmo as První znojemská vinařská a.s. The turning point came in 2006 after the completion of the new production facility in Dobšice, when the winery adopted the name LAHOFER.
LAHOFER produces wines from the main Central European varieties exclusively from its own vineyards in the Znojmo wine sub-region. It cultivates over 430 hectares of vineyards, including renowned sites such as Lampelberg, U Hájku, Babičák, and Volné pole, making it one of the largest grape growers in the Czech Republic.
The construction of a new representative headquarters in the U Hájku vineyard, completed in 2019, was also a significant milestone. The modern building with its characteristic "concrete wave" connects production, administration, and visitor facilities, including the LAHOtéka, tasting rooms, and a viewing terrace. The winery thus offers not only quality wines, but also a powerful experience of the place, architecture, and surrounding landscape.
