Editio Vinifera®
Slovakia is a minute wine region located on the northern limits of an economically sustainable viticulture. Its terroir is one of the most heterogeneous in the world, especially the factors of climate, soil and topography. A plethora of grape vines contribute to the diversity of Slovak wines. Traditional varieties cultivated in the Carpathian Basin since Middle Ages, are either indigenous to this region (e.g. Veltliner, Frankovka / Blaufränkisch, Furmint, Lipovina / Hárslevelű), or were brought during crusades, or by Cistercian or Benedictine monks (arguably Pinot and Traminer), or by Bavarian, Italian and other settlers since the beginning of the 13th century and later (Sylvaner, Riesling). It is believed, that Yellow Muscat (Muškát žltý) is one of the most ancient extant varieties in the Carpathian Basin, probably brought here from the Mediterranean. Slovakia disposes of a handful of original new crosses - varieties "designed" to match Slovak terroir. Devín, Breslava, Dunaj, Nitria, Hron, Váh, Rimava, Rudava, Torysa – they are all products of the famous vine genetist, Mrs. Dorota Pospíšilová, as well as of many Slovak vine growers and winemakers involved in their testing and introduction into practice. The wines made of these varieties attract the attention of wine connoisseurs and enthusiasts thanks to their originality and quality. They follow the fame of wines traditionally produced in the territory of today's Slovakia, particularly described by the Hungarian polymath of Slovak origin, Matej Bel, as early as at the beginning of 18th Century.
