Cviček : Half of it consists of Žametovka

Žametovka is a very old red wine variety that probably came from Slovenia . It shoots early and ripens very late, so that it is susceptible to late frosts and only achieves a low must weight in unfavorable years . Even when fully ripe, the musts from this vine are very acidic , so that single-variety wines are rarely available on the market. The exception is Žametna Crnina , which is made from Stara trta , the allegedly oldest grapevine in the world that grows in Maribor on the banks of the Drava . This wine is drawn into around 100 artistically designed 0.25 liter bottles every year; it is exclusive because of its rarity, not its quality.

The Žametovka is often grown in Slovenia (→ viticulture in Slovenia ) as a trellis or pergola vine , in the Dolenjska region it is the predominant variety. Occasionally it occurs in other areas of Slovenia, especially in the Spodnja Štajerska and Prekmurje regions . In the southern Styria it was also formerly common, but plays no role. Its medium-sized, round, frosted berries are gathered in large, shouldered clusters. They are also offered as table grapes at regional weekly markets . In the Slovenian wine specialty Cviček , wines made from this vine dominate with at least 50 percent.
