Our Friend Fabig Winery
The first thing that catches the eye when we arrive at the Fabig winery are the clear lines of the modern building in a minimalist style, a timeless and luxurious design. Amazing but it fits in well with the almost Mediterranean area of Hustopeče. Roman's wines - Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Moravia - are brilliant, expressive, joyful and at the same time exotic and experimental.
"I think there is nothing more elegant than wine and architecture. One of my dreams was to combine these two things"

Cellar master Roman Fabig
Roman Fabig is a young winemaker who uses innovative methods, but does not want to follow short time trends and rather use long-term and eco-friendly methods. He focuses on quality instead of quantity. Roman gained experience at the winemakers and wineries in Austria, Spain and New Zealand.
Every wine gets its own name - SOUL for the soul that is in it, BIG for FaBIG and symbolic for the fact that Czech wine does not need to hide, Renaissance (after the Renaissance house in Husptopeče) for the resurrection for Czech Republic as a wine nation with centuries of history in viticulture. His logo, well thought out in terms of color, to match every wine, means the many paths and cooperation among people and the regional anchoring - every single thread leads its own path to all come together in the end.
