Gordana Tonkovi\u0107 and her husband, Miro Reljanovi\u0107 – cooked things up by buying land for a vineyard. Ignatius Tonkovi\u0107, Gordana’s father and Miro’s father-in-law (unfortunately, he is no more with us), joined the ranks of winegrowers and winemakers. He turned over all possible literature on traditional varieties in the vineyards of Ba\u010dka and opted for kadarka, who consulted with local and Hungarian and Romanian experts and then, since 2011, he got real help from the Spanish oenologist Ruben – he brought the matter to a point from which, simply, there should be no going back and giving up. Today, the Tonkovi\u0107 winery from Ba\u010dke Vinogradi is coming out with a severe kadarka wine. As much as kadarka was an essential notion of heritage for Ignac Tonkovi\u0107, I now see that persistent and focused Tonkovi\u0107 with a very successful shot as a notion of heritage for Gordana and Mira. It is up to them not to interrupt the story but to continue to develop it with Ignatius’ passion. It is crucial, of course, financially and in other ways to endure, but if something has a more profound value and promises, it is worth the effort \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
