Južnoslovenská
The Južnoslovenská (“southern Slovak”) growing zone runs up to the southern border of Slovakia, following a stretch of the Danube River just before it turns south towards Budapest. The soils here are a mix of clay with some limestone over a volcanic basalt base, with modest elevations of about 250 meters. There is a Garam-Mente trademark, which is attached (like DOP designations elsewhere) not just to wines but also other local food products such as pumpkin seed oil.
