Their first vintage was in 2007 and quickly drew acclaim from major critics, including Jancis Robinson, who in 2008 named the Furmint her wine of the week...

The vineyards’ location is certainly perfect, lying in Haloze and Jeruzalem, often referred to as the ‘pearls’ of Slovenia.

The vine-planted hills of Ljutomer-Ormož close to the Croatian border are flanked by the rivers Dráva and Mura.

This is a wonderland of sloping, winding vine terraces, where small villages are not only built in the valleys but also on the hilltops.
