The Ge\u00f6ncze\u00f6l Winery currently has about 2.5 hectares of vineyards. The majority are old, 40-60-year-old vines, some are between 10 and 20 years old and one small parcel is newly planted. Around one hectare is awaiting plantation; we plan to plant traditional grape varieties here.<\/p>\n
The vines are trained on low and medium-high cordon, some are pruned on two-bud spurs (Olaszrizling\/Welschriesling, St. Laurent and some Z\u00f6ldveltelini\/Gr\u00fcner Veltliner) while the rest are cane-pruned. We work with low yields, harvesting at yields of 0.5-1.5 kg\/vine, depending on the variety and our winemaking objectives. Pest control is 100% organic, which means that we only use preparations authorised for organic production, although we are also trying to reduce and substitute sulphur and copper-based treatments. The small SmartVineyard meteorological station in our Mu\u017ela vineyards is a great help here, enabling us to determine more precisely whether, when and against what spraying is necessary.<\/p>\n
Given that we did not plant the majority of our vineyards ourselves, they contain numerous varieties: Z\u00f6ldveltelini, Olaszrizling, Pozsonyi Le\u00e1nyka (Le\u00e1nyka), Peszeki Le\u00e1nyka (Kir\u00e1lyle\u00e1nyka), Riesling, Pinot Blanc, St Laurent, K\u00e9kfrankos, Dornfelder, N\u00e9r\u00f3, Bianca, Dev\u00edn and Otell\u00f3. Planning the harvest is very difficult because of this, as we have to make 10-15 separate harvests per year. In return, however, we have the chance to see how these varieties behave, both as vines and wines. We also purchase grapes from reliable local growers, to supplement our own production or to expand our range, for example Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and occasionally K\u00e9kfrankos and Riesling.<\/p>\n
Our own vineyards:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n In the future, we would also like to plant vineyards in Garamk\u00f6vesd \/ Kamenica nad Hronom near the cellar and to supplement our existing vineyards. We are slowly but surely expanding the estate, with a target area of between five and ten hectares.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_gallery _builder_version=”3.22.7″ gallery_ids=”229,230,231,232,233,234,235,236,237,238,239″ posts_number=”20″ show_pagination=”off” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.9)” text_shadow_horizontal_length=”text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ text_shadow_vertical_length=”text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ text_shadow_blur_strength=”text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”title_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”title_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”title_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ caption_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”caption_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ caption_text_shadow_vertical_length=”caption_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ caption_text_shadow_blur_strength=”caption_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ pagination_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”pagination_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ pagination_text_shadow_vertical_length=”pagination_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ pagination_text_shadow_blur_strength=”pagination_text_shadow_style,%91object Object%93″ z_index_tablet=”500″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
