ČOKA WINERY THROUGH TIME

Let’s tell the story from the beginning – from the origin.

vinarija kroz vreme
1903.
The first chapter of the story about the Čoka Winery begins in 1903, with the construction of a magnificent wine cellar of the famous Lederer family of landowners. Inheriting the "Kaštel" castle and hectares of fertile North Banat land from his father-in-law, the famous Count Marcibanji, Count Arthur Lederer began the exciting history of Potisje viticulture, which has been bringing lavish wine gifts to this noble region for more than a century.

1908.
With the construction of the second part of the cellar, which housed concrete vessels, lined with tiles on the inside, the Lederer winery continued its success story. One of the main attractions of this part of the cellar was the now famous vessel that could hold more than 67 thousand liters of wine. In it, Lederer held card games, which, accompanied by Roma musicians, lasted for several days.
godina
1912.
This is the year of the completion of the last, by many the most beautiful part of the cellar with the wooden barrels that are part of its famous seventh street. As the cellar is located four meters below the level of the Tisa river, Count Lederer solved the moisture risk by building a functional drainage system, based on highly hygroscopic Tisa sand, spread on the cellar bottom and changed several times during the day with new sand, previously dried on the sun.

1945.
During the Second World War, the Lederer family was forced to leave Čoka due to their Jewish origin, and they found refuge in the Republic of South Africa, which is still the home of her descendants. After the liberation in 1945, the Lederer winery became state-owned and changed its name to Čoka Winery, which was followed by decades of growth and production improvement, the establishment of key wine brands, including Ždrepčeva krv.

Wishing to provide quality and safe raw material bases, Čoka Winery became the owner of the Macedonian Ohrid Winery in September 2007, which adapts its harvesting and processing of grapes, and this strategic move is the result of constant efforts to provide consumers with top quality wine, also offered by Ohrid vineyards rich in sunny days.

MEET COUNT LEDERER

” As I hold the cup held high with these hands, through which thousands of miracles have passed, I give you my word:
I will find and gather all the passions of this world and turn them into wine,
red as a stallion's blood and strong as its gallop.
A wine that will stay and last as long as the memory of the name I bear lasts.” Count Lederer
