House of Wine was established by four wine enthusiasts in 2008. The following were present at the birth of the company: Miro Jersák, Alfred Takacs, Elsie Pells and Hana Matoušková.

Our goal is to produce and supply exquisite wines, mostly to the Horeca segment in Bohemia and Moravia, and to cultivate the wine drinking culture in the Czech Republic. Our wines are produced in the Western Cape region of the Republic of South Africa, where we find ideal conditions for the growing of many popular varieties.

Our first brand, Phant, was introduced to the Czech market in December 2008, with 8 varieties being produced under this brand today. Phant Chenin Blanc, Phant Sauvignon Blanc, Phant Chardonnay, Phant Muscat d’Alexandrie, Phant Merlot, Phant Shiraz, Phant Rosé and Phant Cabernet Sauvignon.

We introduced our second brand, Fangalo, in 2012. Currently we produce Fangalo White, Fangalo Red and Fangalo Rosé. This new brand helped us extend our offer of quality wines. Besides our own brands, we also import wines from well-known vintners, both from South Africa and beyond.

Our company initially began in Prague. Today, Phant and Fangalo wines have become popular among wine lovers across the Czech Republic. Our wines have also been highly praised by experts at several important international competitions, where we have received a number of awards in the last 5 years.
