Harvest 2025: Lozova Hora Completes Its Autochthonous Leanka Pick
The winery sums up its 2025 harvest, as a warm September delivered healthy, aromatic clusters from the Uzhhorod vineyards.
The Lozova Hora team has completed its 2025 harvest, and Roman Lozovyi calls the season one of the finest in recent years. A dry, warm summer and a gradual autumn ripening let the grapes accumulate sugar without losing acidity, the key factor behind fresh Transcarpathian wines.
Picking began with sparkling base material in late August, continued with aromatic whites, Leanka, Riesling and Muscat Ottonel, and closed with a late pick of red Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Special care went to the autochthonous Leanka, harvested by hand in small crates to keep the clusters intact.
"This year the fruit reached the cellar in perfect health. Our job now is simply not to get in the way of the terroir," the winemaker says. In total the harvest was gathered from several parcels on the volcanic slopes near Uzhhorod and Berehove. The young wine is already fermenting in the winery's cellars, with the first results due to be assessed in spring. Details at www.lozova-hora.com.ua.
