Godfather
The Godfather vineyard is located on the remnants of the extinct Sitno Volcano. It is a poetic and mystical place. The wine's complexity in taste goes hand in hand with a rather complex process of winemaking. Three different pickings of the Pinot Gris at different stages of maturity, each with different periods of skin contact. The result: A light red ‘orange’ wine that’s fresh like strawberries in the nose, and remarkably deep and complex in the mouth. Simply irresistible and very well made!
Pivnica Cajkov
Tucked into the volcanic slopes of southern Slovakia, Pivnica Čajkov is one of those rare producers that bridges ancient soil and modern spirit without ever feeling self-conscious about it. Winemaker Filip Nagy farms old vines of indigenous varieties — most notably Pesecká Leánka, Vavrinec (St. Laurent), and the regional gem Devín — all rooted in decomposed tuff and basalt that lend the wines their unmistakable volcanic pulse.
Filip works quietly with intention. Each bottling feels deeply connected to Čajkov’s landscape: the mineral push of its lava soils, the scent of orchard air after rain, the hum of heat and wind that defines this small pocket of the Nitra Valley.
Across his range, there’s a common thread of tension and balance — fruit and stone in conversation. Whites glow with skin-contact texture and herbal brightness; reds hover between juicy and brooding, always with that quiet volcanic charge beneath the surface.
Filip’s wines don’t shout; they resonate. They feel both ancient and vividly current, like transmissions from the earth filtered through a patient hand.
