Our estate is located in a beautiful small valley called Zlopolje, a few kilometres South-East from the town of Vis on the island Vis, Croatia. The valley is blessed with amazing terroir and quiet grace 

We grow varietals such as Vugava (similar in character to Viognier, also known as Bugava locally), Cabernet Sauvignon, Graševina (also known as Welschriesling), and Merlot. With great care and skill, we craft our vintages to please and excite our customers and to offer a unique wine tasting experience in a working vineyard setting 

Ours is a small boutique winery and our wines are uniquely different to the wines in Dalmatia and to those on the Island of Vis. This is because we work hard to control our harvesting and vinification processes to produce clean crisp wines with light alcoholic content. As much as we dare, we apply our knowledge to bring to you the complex varietal nuances as nature intended. We currently offer Cabernet Sauvignon that has spent eighteen months in oak, Vugava, Gris Blanc Rosé, and a limited quantity of Welschriesling. In about four years, we will also co-produce Pošip, Pinot Noir, and Babić. Apart from the vineyards, there are 350 hazelnut trees, and fruit trees on the property   

To preserve the fragile but complex varietal aroma, taste, and to balance acidity, the quality of our wines begins in the vineyard. That is, we precisely determine the amount of bunches per vine in the spring. The level of sweetness, acidity, and pH is measured a number of times before the harvest, so that the percentage of alcohol, and varietal characteristics in the finished wine can be accurately determined. Vinification  for both our white and red wine, follows a strictly controlled fermentation regime of controlled cold fermentation with oxygen control. Finally, our white wines have a maximum of 12.0% alcohol, and our red 13.5% alcohol. They are fresh, light and convincing with varietal character intact. Our barique is Cabernet Sauvignon which after fermentation spends 18 months in 225lt oak barrels or bariques. Not every year do we produce red wine! All our stainless steel barrels have double sheaths - like a thermos flask, and airtight lids. For our Gris Blanc Rosé, we follow the time-honoured Southern-French methodology of controlled vinification and hand-maceration established with years of practice: This is very much a uniquely hand-crafted vigneron's work  

Something to note, we do filter our wine before bottling, but we do not sterilize our wine, hence every now and then when our whites and rosé are chilled for a long time, they will produce a crystalline sediment (tartaric acid which is present in the grape berry) that looks like snow flakes. If this happens to your white wine, do not throw it away, it is very perfectly drinkable (flakes just melt away in your mouth). Moreover, it is a sign that the winemaker has done a proper job - with real grapes. These little tartaric acid flakes are also known as wine gold dust!
