WinEco (Podrum Radenković) - Serbian wines with a tradition
The Župa region around the city of Aleksandrovac in southern Serbia is considered as the best wine producing region in the country, with a tradition of wine growing that goes back to the pre-Roman times. WinEco is one of the producers in the region, better known as Podrum Radenkovic. Podrum means “cellar”, but the word “chateau” could be used too, see for yourself:
Podrum Radenkovic was founded by Milun Radenkovic (1854-1913). His grandson dr Ðorde Radenkovic (1907-1976) studied enology in Bordaux. Upon his return to Serbia, he participated in founding the big Serbian wine companies, Navip and Rubin. He is the creator of the famous Serbian cognac, called “Vinjak”. Today, the cellar is run by the son and grandson of Mr. Ðorde, Milun and Gvozden. Using the advanced modern technology and the traditional knowledge they produce some truely exceptional wines. These are Sauvignon Blanc (barrique), Chardonnay, Rhine Riesling, Ružica (Rose) and Carigrad (barrique):
We highly recommend Carigrad (preferably 2003 and 2004, although it’s already hard to find nowadays), Rhine Riesling and their Sauvignon Blanc. Website (currently in Serbian only): http://www.wineco.co.yu/

Is it possible to visit the winery, and if so, where is the winery located? Would it be possible to visit on a Saturday, and is it possible to buy the wines directly from you?
Yours truly

[…] This is another great wine from the Wineco winery from Southern Serbia. It is a not-very-dry Chardonnay, without a strong nose, but with an exceptional balance of fruity and barrique aromas. It is easy going, with a full taste, definitely one of the wines to accompany your lighter meals. It’s barrique traces make it a great complement to slightly smoked fish or cheeses, but it’s also great on it’s own. […]
