JANKO CELLAR (Šumadija-Velika Morava region)

Tradition and quality of Smederevo wines is faithfully preserved and cultivated by Dragan Vasić Janko, who grows the following grape varieties on 9 hectares of his own vineyards: Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Smederevka, Welschriesling, Rheinriesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot. Vineyards are located in the village of Ralja, on two estates: Taksa and Jelen Do. As far as Smederevka grape variety is concerned, Janko Cellar uses grapes from an old vineyard in the village of Drugovac, in Šumadija part of Smederevo municipality. A cooperation agreement was concluded with owners of this vineyard, so year after year, experts from Janko Cellar continuously take great care and invest a lot of efforts to improve quality of this vineyard, and consequently the quality of Smederevka grapes as well.

From his initial vintner's steps back in 2006, this wine-maker decided to re-introduce into the market high-quality wine made from Smederevka grapes, since this grape variety is also a symbol of the city of Smederevo, but also to grow other high-quality grape varieties on Smederevo soil and produce the best and most renowned wines. Already in 2008, wines which aged in barrique barrels, produced from Serbian, American and French oak, were presented to the market. Among them were Zavet Barrique ( wine which quickly brought fame to Janko Cellar  in the Serbian market) and Misija Barrique (Chardonnay which aged for 12 months in American and French oak barrels).

The winery also presented to the market its Rose from 2010 harvest, produced from Merlot (90%) and Sangiovese and Shiraz (10% altogether).

Janko Cellar also introduced a custom to label bottles of wine from the best years in Cyrillic alphabet, and the first such label was Red Zapis (Merlot).
