Keltis Farm Kelhar

Keltis Farm Kelhar

Keltis farm Kelhar has a 240-year long family tradition of wine production.

Today, it offers organically produced biodynamic wines. They follow natural development of wines (from sparkling to macerated wines) to fully express their potential. The farm is situated on the fertile and sunny hillocks of Bizeljsko.
On southern and northern slopes, they cultivate 5 ha of vineyards in an environmentally friendly way. Due to its beneficial soil structure, the wine is rich in minerals. Westerly winds blowing from the Orlice Hills provide fresh air, which improves the health of vines and thus a quality yield.

Varieties of grapevines:

• Autochthonous variety – Plavez gelber (for sparkling wine);
• Cabernet Sauvignon;
• Chardonnay;
• Merlot;
• Pinot Noir;
• Muscat Ottonel;
• Rheinriesling;
• Yellow Muscat;
• Pinot Gris;
• Gewürztraminer.

Premium wines are produced in a new wine cellar with constant temperature which enables natural maturation process. Keltis wines are a result of original approach to viticulture, both in vineyards and in the cellar, and contain minimum quantities of sulphites. Many wines are not filtrated, meaning that they are distinguished by full body and have a potential for further processing.

Wines of the Keltis Wine Cellar:

• Classical line (fresh wine from younger vineyards)
• Sparkling wines (made according to the classical method and without added liquors; they rest on yeasts for a minimum period of 2 years);
• Macerated wines (orange wines and wines macerated on berries rest from a few days to up to 8 months; autochthonous yeasts);
• Mario Extrême (a specialty; it is a macerated sparkling wine which is the upgrade of gentle macerations);
• Tawny (liqueur wine (a Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon cuvée) is created by adding homemade pomace brandy; it matures in barrels for at least 5 years).
