It is surrounded by the river Sava in the East and the river Krka in the West and covers appr. 2,400 ha. The Dolenjska region is known for its rolling hills covered with vineyards, the Krka river valley with its many castles and monasteries and healing thermal waters. The hilly landscape is interspersed with narrow valleys and very steep slopes, on which the vines prevent soil erosion, but which also means that a lot of the work in the vineyards has to be done manually. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7d06bd47f140c422073cc/952de0bd-1985-4e6c-89b8-34d6654a6a15/202209_Albiana6-small.jpg Insights - Dolenjska - The land of gentle hills, vineyards and the Krka - “Cviček” - the Giant of Dolenjska The Dolenjska area is home to Cviček - a fresh, light and slightly sour wine made from both red and white grapes.

In many areas around the world however, honeybees are endangered due to monoculture farming, loss of habitat and the use of pesticides. Technically grapevines don’t need bees for pollination as they are self-pollinating. However, cover crops that surround the vineyards rely on bees for pollination. In turn, these cover crops promote biodiversity helping combat the monocultural nature of a vineyard. The cover crops are also vital to prevent soil erosion, increase the organic content of the soil, help avoid pests and allow wine growers to be chemical-free - which in turn is a prerequisite for bees to thrive. Thus a conscious and sustainable farming in the vineyards can go a long way for a happy and healthy bee populations. Research and experience shows that this will positively influence vineyard health, the quality of the grapes … and ultimately the quality of the wine produced. And isn’t that what we are all looking for?! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7d06bd47f140c422073cc/4016d490-5c36-47ff-8551-968056d82307/Sophie-Germannier_Cabernet-Merlot-Shiraz.jpg Insights - Caring for the Planet - One Sip at a Time - Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Shiraz Red Bell pepper with herbs and leather welcomes the wine lover’s nose and follows through on the palate with a cigar box, dark fruit and prune aromas.

Legend has it that during the siege of the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century, troops of Eger stained their beards and armor with Egri Bikaver, which led the enemies to believe that they had drunk the blood of bulls. The Egri Bikavér was mass-produced during Communism times, crushing the regions reputation for quality wine production. But since the early 1990s the many local wineries have worked tirelessly to re-establish the high quality and reputation of this wonderful blend. The adoption of the Bikavér code has also helped by defining production standards, used grape varietals and proportions as well as aging times. Another typical wine of the region is the Egri Csillag, a dry fruity white wine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7d06bd47f140c422073cc/6e809f7c-0564-42db-964f-034cc17afdad/Toth-Ferenc-pince.jpg Insights - Eger - The Coolest Wine Region of Hungary - Tóth Ferenc Winery The Tóth Ferenc winery can confidently be called a family winery, as through generations, young and old members of the winemaker family work together passionately to bring forward the good reputation of the winery and the wines of Eger.

There are many different stories explaining the origin of the name the most popular being to link the name to the Ottoman siege of the castle of Eger in 1552. The legend has it that 2,000 men, women and children defended the castle against the onslaught of 30,000-40,000 Turks. The defeated Turks were convinced that the defendants must have been drinking Bulls Blood to have such a strength to defend the castle despite being outnumbered by far. As fascinating as it sounds, the legend is unlikely to be true as Hungary was largely a white wine-producing country at that time. But hey, who are we to let facts get in the way of a good story! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7d06bd47f140c422073cc/098bbdd3-2557-4cde-a9de-bd3e907aff16/Bikaver+Hungary+map.jpg Insights - Bikavér - 3 Things to know about the legendary Hungarian red wine - 3. The Production The Egri Bikavér was mass-produced during Communism times, crushing the reputation of this cuveé. But since the early 1990s many small wineries have worked tirelessly to re-establish the high quality and reputation of this wonderful blend. The adoption of the Bikavér code also helped by defining production standards, used grape varietals and proportions as well as aging times. Bulls Blood can today only be produced in two wine regions: in Eger in the Eastern part of Hungary and in Szekszárd in the South. Both regions produce very distinct wines that clearly carry the characteristics of the local areas: generally smooth and elegant in the cooler climate Northern region of Eger and mostly warmer and richer in the warmer climate of the Szekszárd region. https://www.3wimporters.com/3w-insights/georgia-winemaking monthly 0.5 2024-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7d06bd47f140c422073cc/e798295b-9181-4623-a15f-ae2b1aa71ad3/Qvevri+cellar+5+wine+making.jpg Insights - Discover the cradle of wine making - Georgia - In autumn after harvesting, the grapes are pressed and then the juice, grape skins, stalks and pips are all poured into the qvevri. Depending on the desired style of the wine, different approaches regarding including or excluding seeds or skins for instance may be followed by the winemaker. In the marani, the traditional Georgian wine cellar, the qvevri is buried in the ground for fermentation and aging. Natural fermentation occurs in the consistent temperature of the marani (between 12-15°C / 53-59°F). After the initial fermentation, the qvevri is topped off with wine from another vessel, ensuring that no air remains within. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7d06bd47f140c422073cc/1705936003997-384VWKH6NGDW2ZQVWMLA/Qvevri+cellar+1+building.jpg Insights - Discover the cradle of wine making - Georgia - Arranging the Qvevri in the cellar (Copy) (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7d06bd47f140c422073cc/1705936005589-MEKPKVYE8O24WKQNUHSN/Qvevri+Cellar+3+building.jpg Insights - Discover the cradle of wine making - Georgia - Burying the Qvevri (Copy) (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7d06bd47f140c422073cc/1705936006450-NNH1TAI2QG1FLPS8IEVW/Qvevri+Cellar+4+finished.jpg Insights - Discover the cradle of wine making - Georgia - Finished Qvevri cellar (Copy) (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7d06bd47f140c422073cc/b6ad1011-718e-4bee-b6b2-8d64dc3b7e77/Bedoba+Bilder+%284%29.jpg Insights - Discover the cradle of wine making - Georgia Georgia is recognized as the homeland of wine with an 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition.

While you might think vineyards and bees don't mix, these little buzzing unsung heroes can actually play a key role in boosting vineyard health and grape quality . Sophie has created her dedicated wine label called BeeConscious to raise awareness of the importance of bees. And her commitment extends to every detail of the value chain from production to delivery - this means naturally no pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, but also light weight bottles to reduce carbon emissions during transportation and fair labour practices. https://www.3wimporters.com/wineries/fattoria-il-capitano monthly 0.5 2022-09-05 https://www.3wimporters.com/wineries/radevic monthly 0.5 2022-07-17 https://www.3wimporters.com/wineries/pieve-de-pitti monthly 0.5 2022-07-23 https://www.3wimporters.com/wineries/vina-ronk monthly 0.5 2022-08-04 https://www.3wimporters.com/wineries/kristancic monthly 0.5 2022-09-09 https://www.3wimporters.com/wineries/albiana monthly 0.5 2022-09-05 https://www.3wimporters.com/wineries/feind monthly 0.5 2023-03-18 https://www.3wimporters.com/wineries/bedoba monthly 0.5 2023-03-31 https://www.3wimporters.com/wineries/szeleshat monthly 0.5 2024-01-30 https://www.3wimporters.com/wineries/homola monthly 0.5 2024-01-30
