Our vineyards are nurtured and formed by the third generation of hard-working hands already. Our land pays back for our love for land and organic cultivation with exquisite wine, we love to share with friends.
All we do, we do with love for you, for us and for the estate visitors.
Wine cellar
Our wine cellar is divided into two parts: wooden barrels in the first part, where red and some of the white wines are kept and refined and stainless-steel barrels in the second part of the cellar, where fermentation and refinement of white wines proceed.
Constant temperature of the cellar is maintained between 12-14 °C.
There is also an area in the cellar, meant for the processing of the grapes and an area, where brandy and dried meat products age.
