The winery is located in the Devin village nearby the Bratislava city. It farms on the southwestern foothills of small Carpathians lying above the confluence of the rivers Danube and Moravia. The unique exposition and the slope of the vineyards laying at an altitude of 200-300 m above the sea level offer a magical view of the ruins of the Devin Castle and the surrounding countryside.
The soil composition of the vineyards has great diversity. On some plots it is possible to find lighter clay sandy soils with granite fragments, on others loess soils or loamy limestone soils. A very characteristic aspect is the soil-forming horizon, mostly formed by sedimentary limestone in various forms. Geological and pedological factors, the unique microclimate caused by the presence of the rivers Danube and Moravia, these are the factors that create unique and unrepeatable conditions for growing grapes. With the respect and the humility for the nature we try to transform a unique terroir into our vines.
Ever since my first contact with the wine and its production in my early childhood, I have been fascinated by the difficult to describe magical atmosphere that surrounds wine, vineyards, vintage and everything connected with it. However, the study of viticulture as well as the cultivation and production experience showed me the reality without romantic pink glasses. Instead of the barefoot young ladies stepping on grapes, the everyday never-ending work came.
The gained humility and respect for the soil, for the vineyard, the grapes and the wine caused the relentless desire to be flowless. Every single step. There is a catch, though. There is nothing ideal and flawless in the production of wine. There are only people’s decisions in the given time and space. It is these decisions that have an impact on the uniqueness of the “terroir” which also has a strong anthropogenic aspect. Therefore, I believe that the way to successful cultivation of grapes and the production of wine never ends. It consists of perpetual and clever monitoring of the consequences of the steps we take every year.
“Agriculture is an art, and art can only be
demonstrated through know-how.”
During the wine production we make sure that the resulting product reliably respects its origin. Each vineyard is specific, it has a unique location, soil and exposure. Each year is unique and it will never be repeated. For us the wine is simply a personality with big respect. The date of harvest of individual varieties is consistently selected with regard to its ideal maturity and preservation of life and energy of the fruit in the resulting wine. The grapes are collected by hand and placed into small boxes. The fermentation of the must and the birth of the wine takes place in vessels in which the wine then matures on the yeast sludge. We use only containers made exclusively of natural materials such as wood, ceramic or stone.
