VRŠAČKI VINOGRADI AD (Banat region)

Vršački vinogradi AD are in many ways unique in the Serbian wine-map.Not only that they are the biggest Serbian wine producer with an average annual production ranging between 10 and 12 million litres, Vršački vinogradi AD are also owners of approximately 1,700 hectares of vineyards situated on the slopes of Vršac Hill, at an altitude between 90 and 250 meters above sea level. Vršački vinogradi AD also have the biggest cellars in Serbia, with capacity of more than 34 million litres, thus being one of the largest wine cellars in Europe. The cellars are built in the shape of Greek letter Y (upsilon) symbolizing the initial of the country at that time- Yugoslavia.

Vršački vinogradi AD were founded in 1957 as a result of merger between PD Vršački vinogradi from Vršac and PD Vinogradar from Gudurica. 14 varieties of grapes are grown in their vineyards, and considering the fact that entire Banat region has ideal conditions for growing white grape varieties, the central place in their vineyards is taken by white grape varieties. Italian Riesling prevails in the vineyards,followed by Rheinriesling, Muscat Ottonel, Pinot Blanc, Chardonney, Kreace, Smederevka, Župljanka. As far as red grape varieties are concerned, Frankovka (Blaufrankische) and Muscat Hamburg are grown.

Vršački vinogradi AD takes pride in Vršac Riesling-late harvest wine. This highest-quality wine is produced only in selected years, when climatic conditions are favourable. Until now, the winery has released three selected late harvest wines: in 1993, 2003 and in 2004. This wine is produced from Italian Riesling which is left on the vine until the first frosts occur in order to increase sugar content in the berries.
