SmederevoWelcome

The history of Smederevo dates back to Roman times, and the rule of Emperor Probus. Serbian despots Stefan Lazarevic and Djuradj Brankovic both had vineyards in the Smederevo area in the 15th century. At that time vineyards also included pimnice (wine houses), where one could rest and have a jug of good wine. In those days the wine trade was strictly controlled.

The leader of the Second Serbian Uprising against Turkish rule, Milos Obrenovic, contributed to Smederevo winemaking by planting 36 hectares of vineyards on Zlatni Breg (Golden Hill), his family's summer seat. High-quality wines are still produced there. The wine cellar PK Godomin, founded in 1909. is still in operation and serves as a testament to the long wine making tradition of Smederevo.

The cellars have a capacity of 20,000 tons, with casks that can hold several thousand liters of wine. Traditionally Smederevo vintners packed their premium white wine, called Smederevka, first into crates and then into cases before exporting them to West Europan markets.

Smederevka, named after the town of Smederevo, is the leading grape variety and the traditional symbol of the region's viticulture. It yields grapes of high quality, which also yield good table wine. The wines made from Smederevka are pleasant and energizing, and are even better when coupaged with high-quality Riesling, Sémillon, and white Burgundy.

Along with Smederevka, other noteworthy wines are produced in the region, such as wines made from Italian Riesling, Sauvignon, Sémillon and Traminac. Among quality red wines Gamay stands out as well as Prokupac - based blush wines.

One could say that the Smederevo vintners have been blessed by nature, which has given them all they need to produce a good wine. Now, all they have to do is to use these gifts wisely.

Winery Plavinac is located in close proximity to the Golden Hill Villa, with a beautiful view of the Danube. The production is based on their own vineyards, and the capacity of the winery is 100,000 l. In the 4.5-hectare vineyard, the wines of the dominant varieties of chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, merlot pinot bianco, Malvasia, moscatobianko are pleasant and refreshing.
