Both families, on the father's and mother's side, worked in the vineyards and produced wines that, even during the socialist era, served as economic aid for low wages. As a little boy, I wandered around the vineyards, but only as a larger chalanisko, I smelled the cellar breezes and later tasted the goodies so carefully guarded in the cellars. I knew this was what I was going to do in my life. Wine remained my love. After graduating from the Secondary School of Viticulture and Fruit Growing in Modra and subsequently the Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering at the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, I threw myself, as a recent graduate, into professional viticulture in the company of Jozef Mikuš - JM Vinárstvo Doľany. Of course, even during my studies at high school and university, I made wines and tested whether the theory from school corresponds to reality.
Only professional winemaking gradually taught me how one must be humble and responsible so that the ultimate, much-anticipated fruit of the labor of human hands could be for us on joy and pleasure on various occasions. The aforementioned JM Vinárstvo Doľany was my first professional job opportunity, as I gradually got a lot of space and responsibility and I could learn so much. Later, when I felt that I had to move on, I worked for a short time in Pezinok on a distillery and brandy plant. Here I had the opportunity to smell and learn more about the production of such an icon as the Carpathian brandy special is definitely. Brandy is great, but wine is wine and it drew me back to him through the offer to work on a new wine project IN VINO in Modra (today's ELESKO).
As a second technologist, I joined the New Zealander Nigel Davies, where we and the field formed the first wines of this large project within the Slovak winery. In the end, the aforementioned teasing came from my brother-in-law, that if I didn't try to do something myself and start my own winery. The idea was wonderful, but I knew that if I wanted to do it perfectly, I needed space and money to buy cutting-edge technology. Eventually, the premises and financial support went from our family.
This is how REPA WINERY became a reality and I am extremely happy to be able to do in life what I really enjoy and to impress you with my products, which I believe I make from the bottom of my heart. We will need your support to survive as a family winery at this difficult time for wine. We will strive for this through the quality and unmistakability of my wines.
I wish you only the most beautiful moments spent with our wines.
