First harvests, our guide
Sun-drenched all day, protected by the wind, they offered an opportunity for THE GAME OF WINEMAKING – because serious wines are produced in the vineyard, and then all the potential of the terrain, climate, selected variety, and invested work is transferred into the bottle.
The first harvests showed us the direction for the style and profile of the wine, to which we remain consistent from vintage to vintage. Awaiting and looking forward to every coming one!
Roots of tradition in every vine
Our viticultural story begins with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, very subjectively, with our favourite wine varieties.
In parallel, we also started growing Muscat Hamburg for distillation and production of grape brandy (lozovača). As the estate expanded, we strived to plant a variety on each plot that would yield the best result for that position, soil, and microclimate.
Our Viticultural Story
Today, on 18 hectares, we grow Sauvignon Blanc and the local Morava, as well as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a little Petit Verdot. 5 types of soil, from deep luvisols (gajnjača), through sandy and gravelly terrains, all the way to sandstone rock, largely define the position of each variety individually. We grow the same variety on different rootstocks, in some varieties we rely on clonal selection, while with Sauvignon Blanc we prefer population, i.e., a set of natural varieties within the variety. For all new plantings, we use genetic material from the oldest plantings on our estate.
The emphasis is on the work in the vineyard, with the idea of transforming the nurtured potential of the grapes into the bottle. Based on experience, each plot has its own tank, and the cultivation of grapes is led with the idea of the desired style and character of the wine.
