When Château Rúbaň approached me for collaboration last year, it felt like a return to my roots. When I first explored our traditional costumes and crafts, I also discovered the charm of winemaking. In winemaking, the whole meaning of life is hidden. Starting in January, in the deepest frost, decisions are made that determine the quality of the wine the vineyard will produce in the fall. With a single cut, a single decision, you predict an entire year. If you are greedy and leave too many shoots, you later realize that quantity does not equal quality. Many bunches may grow, but the vine cannot nourish them properly, and they lose taste and value. If you prune too much, the wine succeeds but there is less of it, and you risk having no harvest the following year. Caring for the vine requires intuition and balance, just like in life. As you move through life, new situations arise where you must decide—make a radical cut? Sometimes it is necessary, and you must move forward and evaluate the situation repeatedly.

This return to winemaking delighted me, and during all the crucial seasonal work, I visited and cared for Mília. From this grew a unique, nature-filled wine. Every lively bubble reflects that love. Nature is a vast source of inspiration for me, and I could not resist creating a beloved jewelry series inspired by the winemaking process. Hearts like sweet grape berries warmed by the summer sun. Warm earthy tones of brown, creamy, soft pink, and turquoise like the sky. Pink-golden shine like sparkling wine. Thus was born the small, beloved jewelry series Mília.
