Organic is a young winery,
which was founded in 2013
Organic winery is a young biodynamic winery that was established in 2013 in a Slovakian small village-Strekov. The vineyards are located on the terraces of Pohronská pahorkatina, featuring pondsand marshland that creates a unique microclimate.
Our master winemaker Stephen Kasnyík is regarded as a revolutionary in the field of natural wines in Slovakia. Based on his knowledge and many years of experience in this sphere, we create wines of exceptional quality, mainly due to the complete absence of the use of any chemicals and harmful substances. Wine comes only from our own vin eyards. Our vineyards are located in one of the most famous wine-growing Terroir in Strekov. We cultivate different wine varieties such as Green Veltliner, Welschriesling, Rheine Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Blaufränkisch, Sv. Laurent, Alibernet, Pinot Noir, Zweigelt and Blue Portugal, Dunaj and Savagnin. We do not use any pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides or artificial fertilizers, not even copper when treating the vineyards. The vineyards are sprayed only with herbal teas and biodynamic preparations. By using these methods we also help to protect the environment, clean the soil, support reproduction of microorganisms which enables good root system functionality of vine and strengthen its immunity. We do not use any technical devices for treating the vineyards except of hand mowers and syringes.
Grapes are harvested manually. Fermentation always runs spontaneously with the grape´s own (wild) yeasts and is left on peels (skin contact) about 120-330 days without addition of SO2. After fermentation we manually pour it into oak barrels, which have already been filled several times (these are 12 years old French oak barrels) and into 500 L ceramic amphoras. Wine aging takes at least 9-10 months. After that it is bottled without clarification, extraction, filtration and SO2 addition.
This gives us a high-quality product, so-called bioenergetic wine that has its own resonance 5-8 Hz. This unique way of production is used by approximately 200 wineries in the world. The wineries meet yearly at the VinNatur Wine Festival in Italian Vicenza, where our winery is registered and invited each year.
The current production of winery is 6000 bottles per year, continuously increasing to 10,000 bottles thanks to the new planting from 2015.
