Our story starts in Banoštor, probably the leading wine village in Serbia with 800 inhabitants, 10 wineries and 250 hectares of vineyards, where in the period 2010-2012, 12 hectares of our vineyards were planted. The land is very heterogeneous, clay is dominant (cambisol and vertisol), with presence of marl, limestone and volcanic rock. The vineyards are planted on two slopes that touch the national park of Fruška Gora, at an altitude of 140-220 m, looking in the distance to the Danube. From it we get another sun (200-240 sunny days a year), which in winter heats the vineyards, as well as the constant breeze that cools them during the hot summer. The land is very permeable and loose and does not retain moisture. Grapes mature and accumulate more sugar than in other areas and allow us to obtain full and extractive wines. The proximity of the local stream brings us the appearance of the noble mold Botrytis Cinerea, with the help of which we get the deserted wine Makana by picking the grapes during the late spring. We have organic certificate, both for vineyard and wines. In the basement fermentation takes place exclusively on indigenous yeast, without the addition of oenological resources. Almost all wines lay in wooden vessels of 225 or 500 liters. Most of the white wines are made by the maceration process of 5 to 8 days, trying to put our terroir into the foreground.
