Fruškogorski vinogradi doo were created in 2007, after taking 105 ha land for lease in the village of Banoštor out of which 43 ha had already been occupied by vineyards. Since those 43 hectares were planted with white grape vines (Chardonnay, Italian Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Župljanka), the owners soon decided to plant some red grape vines, such as Pinot Noir and Merlot on the surface covering 25 hectares. This meant no end to expansion strategy, so in 2009 they planted another 10 hectares of vineyards with Sauvignon Blanc and Gewurtztraminer.



Banoštor is well-known as a vinegrowing village with favourable geographic location, vicinity of the Danube which affects the area's micro-climate. Banoštor vineyards spread on the northern slopes of Mt. Fruška Gora. It is important to stress that here  grapes ripen more early and generally yield higher sugar content than in other parts of Vojvodina province, owing to the phenomenon of sun reflection from the Danube's water surface. The climate is continental, while favourable winds from the Danube during the winter time have beneficial effect onto vine, since the grape vines do not freeze.

Fruškogorski vinogradi initiated the line of QUET wines. This name is deeply rooted in the history of Banoštor. In the Middle Ages, at the location of today's Banoštor, there was a fortress surrounded by a settlement known as Keu, Keve or Kuet (Quet). Fruškogorski vinogradi are slowly taking up their position among Serbian wineries, and certainly they have enough potential to show in their wines all the richness and splendour of wines from Srem region.
