Radovanovic wine cellar

​

 In 1990, in the well preserved vineyard of his grandfather's, in Krnjevo, the heart of Šumadija, Miodrag Mija Radovanović established "Podrum Radovanović", the first Serbian privately owned winery striving to make high quality wines. As one of the best and most experienced Serbian viticulturists, Miodrag Radvanović knew how to combine the abundance of nature and serious and systematic work, first in the vineyard, and then in the cellar as well. The primary and only goal of using modern technology in winery Radovanovic is to preserve what grapes give us when it is harvested and to create a distinct link between its best characteristics and those reflected in wines.

There are 30 hectares of wineyards that are scattered along the slopes of 220 metres high hills in a vast valley in the heart of Šumadija , on the soil where first vineyards were planted back in 1831.

Southeastern exposition of the vineyards planted in white varieties and southwestern orientation of the plots with red varieties enable good exposition of grapes to the sun, which, together with specific and favourable geological and climate characteristics of this area provide excellent conditions for a proper and healthy growth of the vine, as well as for good ripening of grapes. The result is a high percentage of sugar in the grapes, in some years even up to 25-26%, which is an extraordinary potential for the creation of strong, complex wines with distinctive character.
