RADGONSKE GORICE

THE ESTATE

In the most north-eastern part of Slovenske gorice there is a hilly area between the Ščavnica river in the south, the Apache fields in the west and north-west, and the Mura river in the east and north-east. Radgonsko – Kapelske gorice lie here. The peaks and slopes are planted with vines, which for millennia have produced a noble drink that even the gods would not refuse.

RADGONSKE GORICE

A HISTORY OF HONOUR

We have been producing and storing wine in our unique cellars since 1852. The pride of the house is the first and most awarded Slovenian sparkling wine, winner of tens of championships and recipient of hundreds of medals from international evaluations, Golden Radgona sparkling wine.

Terrain

The terrain is characterised by gentle slopes and slightly rounded hills and peaks; a slightly varied hilly landscape prevails The elongated ridges run north-south (Kapelske gorice) and east-west (Radgonske gorice). With their wide ridges, they extend from 250 to 320 metres above sea level. The vineyards are situated on slopes at an altitude of 220 to 240 metres above sea level.

Climate

The continental climate is influenced by the Pannonian Plain. This favourable climate provides excellent conditions for the growth of the vines.
It is characterised by hot summers and cold winters. The cool and dry climate of the Pannonian region meet between the hills and have a positive effect on the quality of the wines. Traminec is particularly grateful for these rich natural resources.
Sufficient sunshine, perfect temperatures, moderate rainfall and the right soil are natural conditions that are favourable for every vine. The winegrower and cellarman, with their hard work and love for the culture, guarantee the production of high quality wines in Gornja Radgona.

Soil

The vineyard soils of this area are very diverse. Two soil profiles have developed from Plio-Pleistocene clay: brown sandy clay and brown sandy gravel. The characteristic of these soils is that they are not difficult to deepen but they require regular fertilisation if we want to keep them in full fertility. With proper fertilisation and care, we can produce high-quality grapes here.

Wedding under the waterfall

The breathtaking Pod slapom cellar is an unforgettable experience. The sound of the waterfall gently trickling down from the rocks of the castle hill creates a magical atmosphere, as many couples who have chosen the cellar under the waterfall for their civil ceremonies can attest.
