Our wine cellar is one of the most beautiful classical arched wine cellars in Slovenia. There are 39 big oak barrels in the wine cellar. The biggest one holds 11.690 litres of wine. Our oldest barrel is around 150 years old and we still ripe wine in it. Wine cellar is estimated to be over 300 hundred years old.

Wine Cellar

Unique carvings
Our wine cellar is known for its big classical oak barrels with artistic carvings. Every barrel has its own carving, its own story. Half of the barrels are embellished with biblical stories about wine. The other half with the stories about production of wine; from work in the vineyards to wine tasting.

Genuine wines from wooden barrels
Combination of the traditional technology of wine ripening in oak barrels and the latest technology of grape pressing and fermentation control enables us to produce wine of the highest quality. We try to ripe the same variety of wine in the same oak barrel every year. Ripening wine in oak barrels is only a step in the nature friendly production of our wine that is based on mature and healthy grapes.

40.000 litre glass bottle
This classical wine cellar can hold up to 240.000 litres of wine which is not nearly enough for the 1.200.000 litres of wine we produce per year. That’s why we keep our wine also in inox containers and in three special concrete cisterns (two 20.000 litres big and one 40.000 litres big). These cisterns are tiled with glass on the inside. Therefore they are like very big glass bottles and wine in them keeps its characteristics for quite a while.
