Cviček is a Slovenian wine from Dolenjska region. It is one of the rare examples which is made from both red and white grape varieties. At least four grapes are used in the production of Cviček—the most common option includes Žametovka, along with Kraljevina, Modra Frankinja (Blue Franconian), Laški rizling (Welschriesling), or other locally grown varieties.

Although these wines can differ in character, they are typically low in alcohol and residual sugar, pale red, fresh, easy-drinking, and approachable, while the aromas are vibrant and fruity. Because of its distinctive acidity, Cviček is a perfect complement to traditional Slovenian cuisine, and it goes exceptionally well with cold cuts, roasted meat, pork, cabbage, stews, and sausages.

Žametovka is believed to be a native Slovenian red-skinned grape. It is mostly cultivated in Dolenjska (Lower Carniola) and Styria. This late-ripening grape is rarely made into varietals, and it is usually used in blends, the most prominent being Cviček from Dolenjska.

The wines produced from Žametovka are typically pale in color, light, fresh, and high in acidity with distinctive raspberry flavors. Žametovka is one of the oldest grape varieties grown in Slovenia, and the Guinness Book of Records has estimated one Žametovka vine from Maribor as the oldest living specimen of cultivated grapevine.
