The planning phase of our winery started in 2018 and the actual construction started in February 2019.
From the first minute, the goal was quality winemaking, so we voted for Reductive * technology, we also choose our machines with this in mind.
We harvest ourselves, so we can fully control the time and amount of picking. This results that the picked grapes within 3-4 hours are chilled, ready as treated must, and waiting to be cleaned, which is done by flotation technique.
The capacity of the investment realized in the first round has reached its limits this year, therefore the harvest in 2021, and the vineyards, will be constantly in line with the wine-growing capacity.
As a matter of course, we are also working on to develop a stable customer base, and looking for opportunities both at home and abroad.
What is this reductive technology?
Put simply, it is the opposite of the oxidative process, that is wine made by excluding air and omitting oxidative processes. (An essential element of winemaking is the extension of must to wine.)
Of course, this cannot really take place in a barrel (air enters between the barrel staves, see micro-oxidation), so in most cases the process takes place in a steel tank.
The essence of the reductive process is to preserve the primary aromas of the fruit in the wine. During the fermentation of the must, heat is generated, so it can heat up to 40 degrees.
In this environment however, the fresh scent and fruity aromas are disappear. To avoid this, fermentation takes place in double-walled steel tanks, which is constantly controlled by a cooling system and does not allow it to rise above 15-18 degrees.
However, must needs yeasts, as these very useful organisms convert the sugar in must into alcohol.
Yeasts have been living in wine cellars for decades or centuries, however, the 21st century science already allows us to select the most suitable yeast for the given wine (these are the species yeasts) and ferment the wine in a controlled manner.
So that means they don’t leave to chance what kind of wine to be made.
