TOWTC: Wines of Slovakia

We are joined by the wonderful Lucia from The Naughty Grape for a trip off the beaten path! Slovakia, nestled in the heart of Central Europe, is an emerging wine destination with a rich history and an exciting future. Though lesser known internationally, Slovak wines are gaining recognition for their quality, diversity, and strong sense of place. Winemaking in Slovakia dates back to Roman times, and the country's vineyards have thrived through centuries of tradition, innovation, and resilience. The country boasts six main wine regions, stretching from the sun-soaked Small Carpathians near Bratislava to the volcanic soils of Tokaj in the southeast. These regions offer a diverse range of microclimates and terroirs, ideal for both native and international grape varieties. White wines dominate production, with crisp, aromatic styles made from varieties like Grüner Veltliner, Welschriesling, and the indigenous Devín and Milia. Red wines are increasingly notable too, especially those crafted from Pinot Noir, Blaufränkisch (Frankovka modrá), and Alibernet.
