Our winery and vineyards are located on the southern slopes of Vinica

Riesling
2025

The Riesling is a northern variety, the cool climate of Vinica is especially promising for it, the grapes derive a sparkling acidity from the sediment left over from the chalky Pannonian Sea. Thanks to the slow ripening, as the grapes heat up during the day but cool down at night, the acidity holds up well, the pure variety-specific white field floral and at the same time candied orange fruit flavors appeal to you in every vintage. The old 40-year-old stocks are based on an old clone that enriches the flavor with a pinch of white pepper every year, which is completed by the saltiness drawn from the volcanic subsoil. A tiny bit of residual sugar is essential for this dynamic character, which curbs the fiery acidity, hiding in the background and rounding off the sip at the end of the flavor.

Gravity grape processing

We have been to many places in the world and learned from wine regions that are more developed and advanced than us. We have found everywhere that the most delicious and harmonious wines are made by those wineries that process the grapes using gravity. In the shadow of this knowledge, we created our own gravity grape processing system. In the first round, the grapes that arrived in the crate are poured onto the shaking sorting table, where the shaking causes the bugs to fall out of the bunches, and then 4 ladies sort through the grapes. Only the healthiest bunches are allowed upstairs for processing. The bunches go into the berry crusher, where we remove the whole berry from the bunch, then only the medium and large berries that are fully ripe are crushed using a careful mechanical sorting method, so the small unripe berries with bad acids fall through the rubber rollers whole. Crushed berries, small unripe berries and juice are transferred by gravity through a funnel to a press one floor below. This excludes the use of the mash pump, which can damage the structure of the skin or the seeds and lead to the development of unpleasant bitter flavors. In the press, without the use of enzymes, after a short or longer soaking on the peel, the pressing starts. We press very gently, up to a pressure of only 1 bar, taking care not to crush the small unripe berries, so the juice extraction is only between 50%-55%. Thanks to this, all our wines are histamine-free and have a pure fruity taste.

Junibor - Association of young winemakers

It was founded with the aim of creating a community that ensures the professional development of the future generation of winemakers. The most important thing for us is to help each other and thus make better and better wines that are loved by consumers. In addition to our own learning and further development, it is not a secret that we also want to be able to appeal to our own generation in the matter of cultured wine consumption and wine culture, so we put a lot of emphasis on maintaining contact with young wine drinkers.

HONT - Regional product

We are growing the grape on the territory of the historic Hont county, which trademark ensures that the product is made only from grapes grown in the Hont county. We further tightened this regulation for ourselves, according to which we only work with grapes harvested from Vinica. This guarantees that you will get the best from the treasure of Hont county, from Vinica.
