Get outside the city center and experience life on the outskirts of Bratislava. Travel to the Small Carpathian Wine Region, where you will learn more about Slovakian h...
Slovak white wine grape (Gruner Veltliner) from the Small Carpathians, a citrusy peppery dry white that anchors the Bratislava aperitif and food-paired cellar circuit.
Veltlinske zelene is the Slovak Carpathian name for Gruner Veltliner, shared with Austrian wine tradition across the border. The grape has dominated Slovak white production since the Habsburg era and was codified as the regional white at Pezinok and Modra in the 1990s. The Slovak version typically carries a touch more residual sugar than the Austrian style, with the Pezinok terroir producing the most aromatic expression of the grape.
