Sparkling wines

Our sparkling wines are made for those who love wine… and those moments when the bubbles appear. These are wines created for people who celebrate life — not just on special occasions, but also in the quiet, everyday moments of joy, get-togethers and conversations around the table.

We believe that sparkling wine isn’t just for New Year’s Eve or special occasions. Our wines are made to be enjoyed in the moments that happen right here and now — over dinner with friends, whilst cooking together, on a walk that ends with a toast, or to celebrate those little successes that are worth celebrating.

With their elegant design, refined label and distinctive packaging, our wines also make a beautiful and sophisticated gift — a present that conveys emotion, the history of the place and the joy of sharing a special moment. These are wines that say: ‘thank you’, ‘congratulations’ and ‘I’m glad you’re here’.

We produce sparkling wines that are perfectly suited to the global culinary scene — designed for harmonious food pairing, to complement exquisite dishes, delicate textures and the subtle flavours of signature cuisine. Their elegance, freshness and precision make them ideal wines for the table, for the kitchen, and for celebrating flavour.

This wine is for all lovers of wine and bubbles — for everyday occasions and special celebrations. For important moments and for those completely ordinary ones, which become special thanks to them.

Because our sparkling wines are meant to celebrate life. Not just on special occasions — but whenever something wonderful happens.

Production stages – the traditional method

1.

Grape harvest

Early, with high acidity and lower sugar content. Hand-harvested, carefully selected.

2.

Whole-bunch pressing

Gentle, fractional pressing — producing a clean, light must

3.

Fermentation of the base wine

Fermentation of still wine (usually in stainless steel tanks; sometimes partly in barrels). The result is a wine with great freshness and a neutral profile.

4.

Blending the cuvée

Blending wines from different plots, grape varieties or vintages — defining the style of a sparkling wine.

5.

Tirage – secondary fermentation in the bottle

Adding a mixture of yeast and sugar, bottling, and sealing with a capsule.

6.

Maturation on the yeast lees (autolysis)

Leżakowanie w butelce — od 12 miesięcy do kilku lat; rozwój struktury, kremowości i aromatów piekarniczych.

7.

Riddling (shaking the sediment)

Gradually moving the sediment towards the neck of the bottle (by hand or mechanically).

8.

Racking

Usunięcie osadu poprzez zamrożenie szyjki butelki i odciśnięcie czopu osadowego.

9.

Dosage (finishing liqueur)

Topping up the bottle with wine and a small amount of sugar — to define the style: Brut Nature, Extra Brut, Brut, etc.

10.

Ageing after disgorging and sale

A short stabilisation period, after which the bottles are either left to mature or released onto the market.

parkling wines from the Kazimierskie
Wzgórza Vineyard — precision in production, varietal character, the power of terroir

Our sparkling wines are produced using strictly defined processes and a method that relies on consistency, craftsmanship and time. Every bottle begins its story in the vineyard — amidst the loess hills and cool climate of the Kazimierz Hills — but its character is shaped in the cellar, through the traditional method and long ageing on the lees. We use both Vitis vinifera varieties and carefully selected PIWI varieties in our production, which allow the terroir’s potential to be fully expressed.

We have divided our sparkling wines into three distinctive style categories, centred on the concepts of aromatic expression, grape variety and ageing.

1.

Aromatic wines — freshness, lightness, fruity vibrancy

These wines are crafted as blends of aromatic grape varieties, such as Seyval Blanc, Johanniter and Cabernet Cortis, in the Blanc de Noir style. They are aged on the lees for a minimum of 12 months, preserving the freshness and juiciness of the fruit. In this category, the most important qualities are: lightness, aromatic character, joy and approachability — wines created for the moment, for conversation, for celebration.

2.

Single-varietal wines — varietal character and harmony of maturation

The second group comprises wines made from a single grape variety, including Chardonnay, Riesling, Roter Riesling and Pinot Noir. They mature on the lees for 12, 24 months or longer, resulting in notes of bread and baked goods alongside the pure expression of the variety, as well as a creamy texture arising from yeast autolysis. These are wines in which balance, elegance and mature harmony are key.

3.

Classic wines — time, a serious style, and a noble composition

The third group comprises wines made exclusively from classic Champagne grape varieties — Chardonnay and Pinot Noir — aged on the lees for 36 months or longer. These are wines with a serious, deep and complex character. They embody the minerality of the terroir, a delicate acidity, a creamy texture and a long finish, intended both for dining and for long-term ageing potential.

The sparkling wines of Kazimierskie Wzgórza Vineyard are crafted with precision, elegance and a true sense of place in mind. Each range, each style and each vintage is a conscious interpretation of Kazimierskie Wzgórza — a story of time, nature and craftsmanship that gives the wine its identity.

Wzgórza Winery — a triangle of quality and technological standards

Our sparkling wine production system is based on the quality model set out in the application to the European Commission for the registration of a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), which has already been submitted and is currently undergoing the approval process.

Each category is defined by the length of maturation on the lees, the selection of varieties, the stylistic character, and strict criteria regarding origin and production methods.

  • harvested exclusively by hand, into crates with a maximum capacity of 35 kg,
  • pressing of whole bunches — gentle, in stages, with priority given to the purity of the must,
  • selective vinification of plot-specific batches and blending of the cuvée based on the characteristics of the raw material,
  • control of acid structure, extract balance and ageing potential.
