Skin Contact Wines - Zuzana Barnáková

A vinegrower and winemaker seeking balance between knowledge and intuition.

I live and create with my husband in Svätý Jur. We both are winemakers. We work together in 4,5 ha of vineyards in Svätý Jur and Bratislava. Each of us crafts wines in their own style. I approach winemaking slowly and patiently, with minimal intervention. I enjoy working with long skin macerations, fine lees, wood, my intuition and moods of all kinds. All the process is slow and wines are released when both (me and the wine) are ready, and that takes years. I see winemaking as the most beautiful path of self-discovery, where respect and humility toward nature play a key role. I really love taking winelovers to picnic in the vineyard as a slow tourism experience.
