About Žitavské Vinice
The story, craft, and cellar philosophy of Žitavské Vinice.Winery story
Making exceptional wine
Making exceptional wine... That was the main idea when we were founded. Put a piece of your heart into the wine and make it so that its individuality stands out. We are a small winery and in production we combine traditional methods with modern trends in the world. We are not afraid to experiment and try to push the boundaries of what is expected of quality wine. We make all dry white wines using the "sur lie" method for at least 6 months. This gives them a wonderful fullness and elegance, at the same time they acquire a ripening potential that is not typical for dry white wines. We let the red wines mature in barrique barrels and after at least 6 months of aging, we bottle them without filtration. They stand out for their fullness, finesse and high ripening potential.
Limited editions
Sweet wines and cellar patience
Sweet wines are the most demanding in terms of production, but they are nevertheless our passion. Each variety reveals its maximum potential in a sweet version and still manages to constantly surprise us. These wines abound in high extractivity, powerful aftertaste and aging potential that can last for decades. All the wines we make are limited editions in the number of only a few hundred bottles, so you don't have to hesitate for a long time about why you should have Žitavské Vinice at home in the archive.
