Additional Information

Unique, intense and elegant Frankovka created without any machine processing involved. The grapes were crushed by bare feet, fermented and macerated with stems for 6 weeks, young wine was gravitationally racked to old oak barrels, aged on lees for 2 years and then was bottled with the help of gravity. The resulting wine is extraordinarily confident, multi-layered and pleasantly friendly at the same time.
something

The MAGULA family winery is dedicated to crafting artisan-style natural wines, exclusively using their own, organically grown grape varieties typical to the Central European region. Their journey commenced in 2007 when they revitalized an ancestral vineyard, and since 2016, they've fully embraced biodynamic farming.

Nestled in a picturesque location, their domain now occupies the grounds of a former monastery, shaded by ancient chestnut trees. The family’s commitment to nature and environmental harmony informs all their efforts and projects. They cultivate not only grapes but also chestnuts, fruits, vegetables, and keep bees, along with a small host of farm animals, including a pair of Jersey cows, all to infuse vitality and balance into their estate.

In the cellar, they adopt a hands-off approach, allowing their wines to mature naturally, thereby reflecting the unique character of the varietal, vintage, and terroir. These wines are crafted strictly without the use of any additives and are neither filtered nor fined. The only concession is a gentle treatment with sulfur in the final step before bottling for some of the wines. The result? Wines that are intense yet subtle and gentle, crisp and zippy, embodying the captivating essence of northern terroirs.
