White dry
This is an exceptional, natural, and profound take on the classic ‘Grüner Veltliner’ grape variety. This limited-edition wine (with a production of just 1,750 bottles) originates from an exceptionally old vineyard in Slovakia's Wolf Valley. It is crafted applying a philosophy of minimal intervention, whole-bunch fermentation, and extended aging on the lees.
In the glass, the wine showcases a highly expressive and multifaceted aromatic palette. The initial aromas of green apples, lemon zest, and crisp, unripe peaches are soon subtly complemented by more mature notes of almonds, cream, and gentle honey, which emerge from the prolonged contact with the lees. On the palate, the wine impresses with a precise dryness (residual sugar of just 1.9 g/l) and a vibrant, crisp acidity.
The wine is aged on its natural lees and then transferred to mature in old oak barrels for an additional three months. To preserve the full spectrum of flavors, the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, with only the minimal amount of sulfites added to ensure stability (37 mg/l).
We recommend serving this wine chilled to 10–12 °C. It will pair beautifully with roasted poultry, richer fish dishes with creamy herb sauces, veal cuts, and a classic Wiener Schnitzel.
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.
