Viktor Šipoš has been living in Levá for a relatively short time—he decided just five years ago to focus exclusively on winemaking, after previously working in the energy sector. He is still considered a beginner winemaker, despite being successful in his relatively short career. His family-owned vineyard, located in his hometown of Levá, lies about 40 km from the Hungarian border and is surrounded by vineyards.

He initially produced 1000 liters of wine for his own consumption, and as he says, "We drank it throughout the year with family and friends, so I guess it turned out well." The winery itself is named Šiklóš, after a hill located 4 km from Levá, which is made of a very unusual material: travertine (also known as tufa), a porous sedimentary rock formed by groundwater. (An interesting fact: the façade of the Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica is made from travertine.)

Despite not buying his own vineyard, he currently manages nearly 1 hectare of land and uses various grape varieties for cultivation, including Pinot Blanc, Welschriesling, Gewürztraminer, Blaufränkisch, André, and Alibernet.
