Keltis wines attest to the artisan’s approach in the vineyard and the cellar, they express their terroir and contain minimum quantities of sulfites. Marl, which is the main rock of their terroir, provides their wine with minerality, especially felt in the macerated wines. As dictated by their philosophy, they follow a biodynamic calendar, and work with wines is done at the time of the full moon, when the wine is at its peak and can fully express its potential. Since they only follow its development and do not monitor it artificially, the wine arrives on the market when it is ready and thus every vintage shows its character in its own moment. Vineyards of the Keltis wine cellar encompass 5 hectares of land and stretch over the south and south-western positions as well as northern slopes of the Bizeljsko area. Western winds blowing from neighbouring Orlica take care of the ventilation and are a natural ally in the fight against diseases. Soil composition includes marl, sandstone with quartz binder, clay, Lithuanian limestone, and limestone with the application of chert.
As with all of our producers, we will be donating part of the proceeds from sales to a non-profit close to our heart. For Keltis Wines, we have chosen to donate to the Food Banks of Alberta, please check them out.
