The Enjingi family celebrates 117 years of winemaking. During this time little has changed in their approach to winemaking. They are in the east not far from the Serbian border, above the valley of Požega. Today the vineyards of the Enjingi family spread on 50 hectares of prime grape growing land in the Kutjevo appellation. Vineyards are planted on the southern slopes of the mount Krndija, on diverse soils, from sandy loams to extremely rocky soils, which lends complexity and fine minerality to the wines. Some of the vineyards are more than 35 years old. Younger vineyards are densely planted, up to 8500 vines per hectare.
Ivan Enjingi's winemaking philosophy follows the same principles applied in the vineyards with the belief that only organic production can express the real value of the terroir. All wines are fermented with native yeast in stainless steel tanks. Followed by aging for several months in Slavonian oak barrels, some of which they produce. This atypical Riesling is a window into a different perspective of taste. Textured, heady and exotic it is not anything like what you find in Germany yet undeniably Riesling. It is a cheese pairing machine. |
