Fruška Gora

Vineyards

Our own plantings on the southern slopes

Fruška Gora, an ancient massif rising out of the Pannonian Plain, is a national park and the largest linden forest in Europe. For 1,700 years it has been ideal country for growing vines and making wine.

Its hills face south and catch sun all day long, gathering the warmth the grapes need to ripen. At the same time the make-up of the soil, the closeness of the Danube and the winds it carries mean that the gap between day and night temperatures builds aromas found nowhere but here.
