About Us
Details about the winery:
The family based “Kosova Wine” Cellar is located in the south-east part of Rahovec, Kosovo, first and officially established back in 2011. Our cellar is equipped with modern technology tools for the production of both red and white wines and spirits. Since the owner of the winery, Fatmir Shehu is an Albanian-American, the winery of Kosova Wine is predominantly inspired by the North-American style of wineries such as the ones based in Napa, California, making our winery a unique place to be in Kosovo and the surrounding region. Kosova Wine, family based production winery is surrounded by vineyards where from the top of the winery you can see one of the most beautiful landscapes of the city of Rahovec and that of our vineyards, as well.
Our core values lie in the production of wines and spirits including those of our unique grape based Raki and Grape Juice. We are focused on quality over quantity since we are determined to preserve our long tradition of wine and raki production. Our family is well known for its vineyards and winemaking in general since a soil-based barrel was found deeply buried in our vineyards where the object is now built. Other old dishes and stone inscriptions of ancient Roman-Illyrian times were found in this area, too. These antique materials are over two thousand years old which goes to show that the wine was produced in our region, specifically in the area of our family vineyards’ since the ancient times.
