    Coming Up

    Continuity matters in sparkling wine production, and since 2019 Samuel Hacaj has been building on the family line that came before him. The work sits inside Bobulles, where the brief is not reinvention for its own sake but continuation through method. “Bobulles is a family winery that I founded together with my father, Ing. Vladimír Hacaj, in 2019 so that we could continue the family tradition of producing sparkling wines.” Samuel has said.

    Where They Are Now

    The target is explicit: the house is aiming at a range of sparkling wines that can sit alongside well-known French Champagne wines on quality. In Samuel Hacaj’s wording, that benchmark is the standard the winery is working toward.
