Champion of the organic grape category of the National Wine Salon of the Slovak Republic
Karpatská perla became the champion in the organic grape category of the National Wine Salon of the Slovak Republic. This success is proof of tireless work and dedication to organic farming, which the Šebov family winery applies in its vineyards. It seems that the secret of their success is the harmony between nature and human intervention, which manifests itself in every bottle of wine as a symphony of flavors and aromas.
For many winemakers, organic winemaking is just a trend that comes and goes. However, for Carpathian Pearl, this approach is deeply rooted in their philosophy and values. Since 2019, they have been growing their grapes in the BIO regime, which means that they refuse to use synthetic chemical preparations and artificial fertilizers. This decision is not only about protecting the environment, but also about providing the purest essence of the grape that can be expressed in wine.
One of the most striking manifestations of this philosophy is their 2021 Riesling Riesling, which became the champion in the category of organic wines at the National Wine Salon of the Slovak Republic in 2023. This wine is like the caress of the Little Carpathian wind on a sunny hill, where every grain of grape absorbs the energy of the surrounding forests and the freshness of the air. At the first sip, it enchants you with its rich aroma of honey and honeycombs, which evoke memories of summer days spent in a blossoming meadow.
Rhenish Riesling from Carpathian Pearl is undoubtedly an ode to the terroir, which is unique to the Lesser Carpathian wine region. Grown on Suchy vrch in the Seneck district, the grapes acquire a unique character here, which is supported by ideal climatic conditions and careful work in the vineyard. The specific sugar content of the must at the level of 24.00 °NM and the precisely balanced content of acids and residual sugar (33.00 g/l) give the wine its unique harmony and predict its long life in the bottle.
The awards this wine has won speak for themselves. In addition to the title of champion in the 2023 National Wine Salon of the Slovak Republic, Riesling Rynsky also became the "Knight of Wines 2023" and won the Czech-Slovak Gold Cup. These successes only confirm that Karpatská perla has a solid place among wineries and its approach to organic farming is the right step forward.
In conclusion, tasting Rhenish Riesling from Karpatská perla means walking through the vineyards, feeling their energy and experiencing a story that begins in the soil and ends in the glass. It is a wine that offers both initiates and laymen the opportunity to delve into the secrets of nature and discover the beauty that can only be achieved through respect for the earth and honest work. So the next time you're looking for something special, try the Seneck district and its Suchý vrch, where pearls are born, which have rightly gained recognition on a national and international level.
