Winemaker: Bojan Baša
Location: Sremski Karlovci, Serbia
Region: Fruška Gora (vineyards)
Founding Year: 2010
Vineyard Size: 4.5 hectares
Farming: Organic, biodynamic
Soil: Limestone, clay
Topography: Southeastern slopes of Fruška Gora at elevations between 200–300 meters, within the Sremski Karlovci appellation. The terrain forms a natural horseshoe open to the Danube River, allowing steady airflow from the Pannonian Plain that reduces disease pressure and supports balanced ripening. Soils are a complex mix of clay and limestone, derived from ancient volcanic and sedimentary activity, contributing structure, minerality, and tension to the wines.

The region of Vojvodina is known as the bread basket of Serbia (formerly Yugoslavia). The almost completely flat landscape with rich, fertile soil is covered in wheat and sunflower fields. The exception being Fruška Gora National Park, a low mountain range and ancient fault rock that juts out of the flat plain, running East to West.
About 10 million years ago, this whole region was under water, known as the Pannonian Sea. The flat landscape of Vojvodina was the sea floor, and Fruška Gora was an island in the Pannonian sea. This ancient history is one of the aspects that has created the perfect conditions for growing vines. It is geologically very diverse, consisting of shale, marl, limestone, dolomite, sand, cobblestone, and Pannonian clay. The youngest layer of soil is loess. Sporadically high levels of iron provide for a complex acidic structure in the wine. The Danube river runs along the northern side of the mountain range, while the Sava River runs along the southern side, creating a unique microclimate. Fruška Gora National Park is covered with mixed forests (92,3%): silver linden, sessile oak, Austrian oak, beech, common hornbeam. It is the biggest truffle site in Serbia.
