The Southern Slovakia appellation, located in the south of Slovakia, is one of the country's most significant wine regions. It benefits from a moderate continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters, which allows for the cultivation of a wide variety of grape varieties. The region is characterised by its rich and diverse soils, ranging from loess to stony clays, contributing to the complexity of the wines produced.
Wines from Southern Slovakia are predominantly white, with a predominance of Welschriesling, Grüner Veltliner, and Chardonnay offering fresh and fruity aromas, often complemented by a subtle minerality. Although less common, the reds are no less remarkable, with grape varieties such as Blaufränkisch and Saint Laurent producing rich and spicy wines.
The region is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing quality of its wines and the commitment of local producers to sustainable viticultural practices. Southern Slovakia is thus a promising destination for wine enthusiasts seeking discoveries and authentic, unique Mediterranean flavours.
