It is a country worth exploring with a wine glass in your hand.

- Producers: 800
- Terroirs: 23
- Varieties: more than 40, including Welschriesling, Rhein Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, Pinots, Blaufränkisch, Dunaj, Devín.
The combination of a northerly climate and variable soil conditions, means wines from Slovakia have naturally higher acidity, which adds freshness, sparkle, and vibrancy, yet remain harmonious. They have long persistence, full body, and crispness. The aroma depends on the variety – most have floral or citrus aromas, while wines from the Tokaj region exhibit breadfruit and nut notes.
