Château Belá is an ancient property located on the banks of Danube River in southern Slovakia, where the first vines were planted by the Romans. Today, (FYI: Slovakia has been operating under EU wine laws since 2005) the Château works in collaboration with Ergon Müller and Miroslav Petrech, celebrated winemakers from Germany and the Slovak Republic, to produce Rieslings (and some Cabernet Sauvignon) that rival the great wines of Germany, Austria, and Alsace.
