Erdevik Estate is located in the historic village of Erdevik in the Serbian Fruška Gora region – an area whose viticultural tradition dates back to the Roman Empire. The winery was founded in 1826 by Count Livio Odescalchi (family of Pope Innocent XI.) and today combines Italian heritage with modern precision. Erdevik is located on the 45th parallel – the same line as Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Willamette Valley. 64 ha of vines on loess and calcareous marl soils, cooled by the Danube. The only Serbian winery represented in all global James Suckling tastings.
