As a young winemaker, I am grateful to my father Marijan, who raised our more than 240-year-old family winemaking tradition on the fertile hills of Bizeljsko to a new level 30 years ago. These solid foundations today allow us to stand proudly behind our wines, which are produced according to the principles of biodynamics. The production of natural wines requires passion, understanding, patience, knowledge and work. With the help of natural preparations and macerations, which last up to 8 months, we get exceptional results. We produce up to 30,000 bottles a year on 5 hectares of vineyards. For fresh wines, we use stainless steel tanks, and for longer maturation, wooden barrels. Our wines mature in an underground wine cellar. Why natural wines? Although many think that such wines are merely a trend, the truth is that the methods of producing natural wines are thousands of years old. This method of cultivation is based on many years of experience, successes and mistakes of our ancestors, who farmed in a nature-friendly way. Because we want original, authentic wines that reflect our terroir, we produce them with minimal interventions and additives, without filtration. The wines are produced with love and respect for nature, and the cellaring is adapted to the processes in nature, outside temperatures and the rhythm of the moon. The natural process follows the principles of biodynamic farming. It is a sustainable way of farming using biodynamic preparations. It is also our guide, our way of thinking and living. We maintain vitality in the vineyards with animal compost given to us by our cattle. That is why we appreciate them and we are grateful to them. Cattle help us preserve the cultural landscape on the estate. Photo credit: DrinkSloWine
