One of Prague's youngest vineyards, the Albertov lies in a unique place, at the meeting point not only of four city districts - Nové Město, Vyšehrad, Vinohrady and Nusle, but also of the past and present. In 2009, the site owner had a private vineyard established in the garden of the modern apartment complex adjacent to the mediaeval New Town walls. With its romantic gazebo, it pays homage to the winemaking tradition, evidence of which can be seen in a number of place names. Besides Vinohrady and Viničná ulice, for example, there is also Vinný potok. That was the name of the Botič, a stream winding its way between Vyšehrad and the vineyards on the southern slopes of Větrov hill back in the days before vines gave way to the city. The vineyard grows traditional Pinot Noir and Riesling varieties, as well as the newly bred Phoenix. Some 850 vines are grown using the old "head" technique.
