Those involved share a common perspective, that what somebody does on their soil has an impact on the neighboring soil, either positive or negative. The goal of UNITED CELLARS OF TEKOV is to bring the vineyards across the TEKOV region into harmony with nature. This is the beginning…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVineyard ownership in TEKOV is highly parcelated due to the post socialist re-privatization of vineyards to local families and all entitled family members. Naturally, some recipients cherish their land, or ignore it, and some farm as they have been taught, dependent on synthetic treatments. This reality does not sit well with Marek and Ján as their own vineyards are small parcels. Recognizing that they cannot control their neighbors' farming practices they had an idea. \"What if we can convince our neighbors to convert to organic by offering them support and serving as the outlet for the wines?\" UNITED CELLARS OF TEKOV is the fruit of this idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach UNITED CELLARS OF TEKOV wine is its own expression of land, varieties and people. What grape varieties a grower tends are not of concern to Marek and Ján. What is important is the quality of the ingredients. The requirement is organic farming, certified, or in conversion. If the grower has space to make the wine then their cellar is utilized. If space is not does not allow there is a local cellar Marek and Ján can utilize. In both situations they conceive of their recipes as the grapes are harvested. These wines are produced to be enjoyed, while some may mature handsomely, the hope is to push even more growers to join UNITED CELLARS OF TEKOV so drink, share, repeat!\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"united-cellars-of-tekov-asap-riesling-2023","title":"United Cellars of Tekov ASAP Riesling 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/0227\/9867\/files\/UNITED_CELLARS_OF_TEKOV_ASAP_RIES_23.pdf?v=1790294201\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload Tech Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCER:\u003c\/strong\u003e United Cellars of Tekov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKERS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marek Uhnák (Pivnica Cajkov) \u0026amp;
