About Slovakia |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
A politically youthful country, independent since 1993, Slovakia’s wine
production dates from before the 10th century. |
|
|
A Central European country sharing the same
latitude as Alsace and Burgundy, Slovakia’s geographical location is perfectly
suited to the cultivation of wine producing grapes. |
|
|
A mountainous, well-irrigated country, Slovakia is divided into six distinct
wine regions: Nitra, South Slovakia, Central Slovakia, Eastern Slovakia, Small
Carpathians, and Tokay.
|
|
|
Landlocked and distant from any large body of
water, Slovakia enjoys a moderate continental climate which favors the
production of excellent wines when combined with careful cultivation. |
|
|
A member of NATO and the European Union since 2004,
Slovakia is rapidly modernizing its wine producing facilities while preserving
the traditions of more than 1,000 years of making wine. |
|
|
With a history of wines that have graced the tables
of French kings and Austrian emperors, Slovakia today produces wines that
compare favorably to the better known wines of Europe. |
