Rose dry
This exceptional "Pink Wolf" (Slovak: Ružový VLK) creation proves that rosé wine can be much more than just a light summer companion; it can be a complex, dense, and textural beverage worthy of a connoisseur's attention.
At first, it may appear somewhat shy, revealing a slight reduction (closedness) typical of natural wines, but once allowed to breathe, the wine opens up in all its beauty. Both on the nose and the palate, vibrant accents of wild forest berries unfold. On the palate, the wine surprises with its weight, which is perfectly counterbalanced by an expressive and crisp acidity that creates an impeccable sense of balance, while minimal residual sugar guarantees a precise dryness.
The foundation of this wine is a blend of local grape varieties, seamlessly marrying the juicy ‘Blauer Portugieser’ with the structure and character-giving ‘Blaufränkisch’ (known locally as ‘Frankovka modrá’). In the winemaking process, the Magula family is guided by an absolute respect for nature and a philosophy of minimal intervention. Fermentation, driven by natural, wild yeasts, took place in open-top stainless steel vats. The wine was then slowly aged in two distinct vessels: old oak barrels and a large stoneware amphora.
This is a strictly limited-edition wine, with only 2,764 bottles produced. The winemakers use only the absolute minimum amount of sulfites necessary (a mere 26 mg/l) to ensure the wine's stability.
We recommend serving this wine chilled to a temperature of 10–12 °C. It pairs perfectly with classic Neapolitan pizzas, hearty pasta dishes, rice dishes, and richer fish or seafood.
Magula wine is an exceptional, naturally crafted wine from the Suchá nad Parnou region in Slovakia. Born at the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, this biodynamic wine is ideal for natural wine enthusiasts seeking authentic terroir expression, spontaneous fermentation, and low-intervention winemaking.
Magula Winery History and Biodynamic Philosophy
The origins of the Magula estate date back to 1931 when Joseph Husar purchased land in the village of Suchá nad Parnou, located in the northern part of Slovakia. Although historical events of the mid-20th century and nationalization temporarily halted the family's activities, the descendants successfully revived the vineyards in 2001. The winery firmly established itself in the market in 2011 by presenting its first Blaufränkisch wines.
The estate relies on a strict philosophy of biodynamics, organic farming, and minimal intervention. Technological knowledge and best practices were adopted through collaboration with recognized natural winemaking masters (Ibor Melecsky, Zsolt Sütö) and biodynamic leaders (Claus Preisinger, Toni Hartl).
Production Methods and Wine Style
Magula's core values are naturalness and transparency. The wines stand out for their vitality, purity, and precise expression of the grapes, achieved by applying the following production principles:
Key Vineyards and Grape Varieties
The winery works exclusively with its own vineyards in the vicinity of Suchá nad Parnou. The fertile, mineral-rich soil and the Carpathian mountain microclimate give the wines a firm structure and fresh acidity. The plots are cultivated entirely without the use of synthetic chemicals.
The estate's main focus is on red wine, especially the 'Blaufränkisch' (known in Slovakia as Frankovka modrá) variety. These wines feature bright notes of dark berries, spices, herbs, and soft tannins. The winery also produces limited cuvée batches from carefully selected harvests.
