At the heart of the Croatian wine world, Istria shines as an icon of craftsmanship and tradition. Istria and sub-region Kvarner, are the northernmost part of the Croatian coast. This region consists of two subregions: the Istrian peninsula and the Hrvatsko Primorje (Kvarner) – also known as the Croatian coastal area. Here, where the sun, the coast and rolling vineyards meet, wines are born that are the flag bearers of Croatian wine production. Istria is not just a wine region; it is a living heritage, a custodian of centuries-old techniques and traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. 

​

What makes Istria truly unique is its unparalleled diversity. Not only in its landscapes, but also in the wines themselves. Every bottle carries the essence of the terroir – a harmony of soil, climate and the dedicated hands that tend the vines. Here, tradition and innovation merge, resulting in wines that are both authentic and progressive. The white wines from Istria and Kvarner are characterized by a refined balance: from light-medium to rich-medium body, always elegant and refreshing. The red wines from these regions are mostly medium-bodied, but with some powerful, full-bodied varieties of top quality, they offer a harmonious interplay of fruity depth and lively acidity. ​You will often encounter cuvées in Istria, these wines are the result of a thoughtful and creative approach to winemaking, where respect for the authentic and innovation go hand in hand.
