About the winery: The Matuško family has a rich tradition in viticulture. In 1997 they first started producing wine for the market in a small winery in Potomje. This required a serious approach to grape and wine production as traditional values and principles had to be preserved. Thanks to family tradition, but also to family upbringing, this was the beginning of the dizzying rise of Matuško wine. Combining family culture with personality, especially charm and playfulness, they have been able to put a unique stamp on the wines, which the market has recognized over the years. Every year, this winery attracts thousands of tourists who come to visit the impressive wine cellars.
