Thaya is built on the passion of South Moraviana native, owner Josef Trávníček and on the craftsmanship of winemaker Jakub Smrčka who make organic wines, many with native yeast fermentation, in South Moravia, along the Austrian border. They focus on many German and Austrian varietals, but also have some native to the Czech Republic, like Moravian Muscat.
