The Uhnak family is strongly linked with the village of Čajkov on the southern slopes of Sitno Volcano, Central Slovakia. They have been growing vine here for more than 500 years. The seal by the Archbishop of Estergom from the year 1666, which entitled our family to trade in wine and agriculture products, is a symbol and a materialization of my ancestors‘ abilities and at the same time it is a challenge for me to stay true to their legacy. The viniculture region under the Sitno Volcano is a magic place where two climates meet. The hot –southern part of Europe (Panon basin Pannonicum) overlaps here with the cold – northern part of Europe (West Carpathians – Carpaticum occidentale). Vineyards under the Sitno Volcano spread mostly over tuff. Soft tuff is volcanic ash and hard andesite is volcanic lava. Volcanic soil is porous and it perfectly absorbs water, gases, and oxygen that are subsequently available to grapevine roots penetrating the volcanic bed. Wild yeastfermented, Unfiltered, Unfined, No added Sulfites.
Eloquent wine with succulent acidic backbone & nutty, savoury touch, ending on raisins and rocks. A wonderful companion for the whole evening, ever-evolving in your glass.
DevÃn is the child of communist times – somebody in Slovakia once had the idea that we need our own type of Traminer, one that can survive our crazy winters. Thus, this grape was born: son of Traminer, daughter of Rotweisser Veltliner, aromatic yet resilient. Tbh, I never liked the wines it produced, but fate brought me a vineyard with some of it. I thought I’d pull it out as soon as possible, yet time went by and the vines still stood there, intact and proud. So, I dropped the attitude and took up the challenge. Using lower yields, a slightly oxidative elevage and multi-vintage blending, I turned my once-Nemesis into a new friend
