🍷 David Kušický: The New Guard of Slovak Natural Wine

David Kušický is a young, acclaimed Slovakian winemaker and a leading voice in the country's natural wine movement, rooted in a multi-generational family tradition.

He is the grandson of Ján Kušický and part of the family currently running the established Domin & Kušický winery, located in the Central Slovak wine region of Veľký Krtíš.

  • A Family Legacy, A Personal Vision: While upholding the legacy of the Domin & Kušický family winery, David launched his own eponymous wine line to pursue a more experimental, low-intervention approach. His personal brand allows him to create "wilder wines without the constraints of classical winemaking."

  • Commitment to Organic & Natural Methods: David's wines are crafted exclusively from BIO-certified grapessourced from the family's 40 hectares of organically farmed vineyards. His philosophy centers on spontaneous fermentation, minimal intervention, and often wines made without added sulfur dioxide (SO2​).

  • Signature Style: David is known for producing playful, unpretentious, and vibrant wines, including a range of natural styles such as Pet-Nats (naturally sparkling wines), Orange Wines (like his 'Serotonín' Muscat D'oro), and innovative light red wines (such as 'HEY MATE!,' a semi-carbonated Pinot Noir inspired by his time interning in Australia).

  • Educational Background: David graduated in viticulture and winemaking from Mendel University in Brno in 2019, having already been actively involved in the family winery during his studies.

 

  • That's an excellent choice. David Kušický is a leading name in the new generation of Slovakian natural winemakers. His wines are part of the family's renowned VÍNO NATURAL Domin & Kušický winery, but his specific line is known for being more experimental and low-intervention (zero added SO2​).
