From Malé Ripňany to the world — that sums up the journey of a modern winery that has been winning acclaim at international and domestic wine competitions ever since it was founded in 2012.
The winery is located in Malé Ripňany near Topoľčany, in the Nitra wine region — the oldest winegrowing region in Slovakia, with roots reaching back to the 9th century. We farm 85 ha of our own vineyards in a way that is “friendly for nature.” Since our new production facility opened in 2018, our capacity has grown to as many as 4.5 million bottles a year.
Vinum Nobile is a testament to the passion and expertise of its founder and winemakers, who set out to craft wine that captivates the senses and embodies the essence of a unique terroir.
We combine tradition with innovation — traditional winemaking techniques and modern equipment give our wines their distinctive taste and aroma. Elegant whites, robust reds and fragrant rosés reflect the essence of our vineyards.
Our very first vintages in 2012 were a great success at international and regional competitions, and every year our wines are selected for the National Wine Salon as one of Slovakia's TOP 100 wines.
Our premium noble range — wines awarded around the world, with harmonious flavor, balance and aging potential.

We care about the environment, so we do our part for sustainability.
We practice integrated vine protection throughout our vineyards.
To fight vine diseases, we combine biological protection with a sensible use of fertilizers and fungicides.
ECO technology allows fast, gentle spraying with minimal soil compaction.
We sow herbs, clover and grasses in every other row — they protect the soil from erosion and attract beneficial insects.
He inherited his love of winemaking from his Caucasian ancestors. A successful entrepreneur, in 2012 he decided to build Vinum Nobile Winery — vineyards and a winery equipped with modern technology for processing both white and red grapes, set in the beautiful surroundings of Malé Ripňany. He personally oversees every stage of the winemaking process, which is constantly being refined.
“Before we raise a glass of wine to our lips, we should know where that wine was born. Wine is the transformed energy of the sun.”
