Slovenia
Child Company of ZANUT
We are a family estate from Slovenia which grows grapes on 25 hectares. We also grove and produce, on 3 hectares, extra virgin olive oil. All of our products are organic-biodynamic. We are one of the families which started with the organic production in Slovenia and now we are the one of the biggest organic producer in our region, Istra. Why organic-biodynamic because we drink our wine every day, we live from the soil and we know that we have only this land to live and survive.
Most of the wine we produce are indigenous variety. 70% of our production are malvazija (white), refošk (red), rumeni muškat (sweet white). The rest are the word-famous variety as cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noire, chardonnay, pinot blanc, pinot gris. Why indigenous variety? Because this are the varieties which have grown in our region for all the time and they can express our terroir in the best way. We have planted the word varieties to tray our land and us in producing them.
Part of the wines is on market as fresh, young wines produced for each day drinking. These wines are produced from grapes which grow in young vineyards. The most of the wines are product of our old knowledge which flows from generation in generation. These wines are aging in wood barrels, big and barrique, are for a long time on skins (no added yeast), bottled without filtration and with any chemical addition. Only in this way our work in vineyards can be express 100% in the glass.
