Naboso, whose first vintage was released in 2019, is a new face we’re stoked to have.

10 minutes from Bratislava is the bucolic town of Sväty Jur. It sits on the slopes of the Little Carpathians mountains and has embedded within it a rich winemaking tradition of over 700 years. Living in a 17th century house, containing with it their two cellars, are Nadja and Andrej- aka NABOSO- who proudly carry on Sväty Jur’s winemaking tradition. Nadja is a ceramicist and lifelong wine enthusiast, who got into wine working at a wine bar in Copenhagen and a winery in Austria prior to meeting Andrej and moving to Slovakia. Andrej is a charismatic and energetic winemaker, and has been quietly making wine for 10+ years.

Nadja and Andrej have 5ha of south to south-east facing vineyards on granite and sandy soils. They farm entirely organically and all grapes are hand-picked. Observing their harvest, the sense of pride of joy is palpable- these are ebullient winemakers and farmers who make wine because they love to make wine, and hold themselves to a high standard. They follow a simple philosophy: they want to make wine naturally, but they want it to be excellent.
