Wines enjoyed by Great Moravian monarchs, the late British queen, and by the highest religious dignitaries come from a historically sacred Nitra wine region. It is a geographically and varietally diverse region, therefore typically Slovak. The rivers Dolný Váh, Nitra, Hron, and Žitava, the Považský and Pohronský Inovec mountain ranges, as well as Tríbec, Zobor, and Sitno mounts – they all define the originality of the location, the soil composition, and the distinct microclimate. Four winemaking towns and their traditions stand out: Nitra, Topolčianky, Vráble and Sereď. The region is also home to some amazing soloists: the famous Radošinský klevner, the rosé cabernets and Blaufränkisch from Topolčianky, Rieslings from Mojmírovce, Feteasca regala from Čajkov, as well as Gewürztraminer, Dievčie hrozno, Rulandské biele and Müller Thurgau. Plus, the one and only, Slovak sparkling wines from Sereď and Nitra.
Soil Conditions: The soil contains a high level of skeletal crystals with a mineral foundation resulting in a great diversity of vineyards in this region.
Climate Conditions: This is a very warm and dry lowland climate region. The varied topography of the region results in very diverse microclimate conditions which affect the variability of local wines.
