About the winemaker
“My great-grandfather Janez decided to establish his own winery after an internship in the Champagne region. In the village of Stara Vas, he bought an old farmhouse with a tiny vineyard of 0.1 hectares. That wasn't much, but at the time, farmers still had to sell their wine in bulk to the state-owned company. Because sparkling wines undergo a second fermentation in the bottle, he believed this was not possible. As a result, he became the first winegrower allowed to sell his wines under his own name. This success eventually gave him the opportunity to buy more vineyards and ultimately even build an entirely new winery.”
