How it all started

Long ago somewhere on the hills of a small town along the Adriatic coast, on the Bay of Kotor. Here in Montenegrin Dalmatia, our family worked hard because the reward was a good meal, lots of wine and love. The production of our own "table wine" was made annually for personal use, for family and friends. It was a cuvée of the autochthonous grape varieties Plavka, Kadarun and Surac, all related to the Plavac Mali that is found in large scale in Kroatia. The harvest traditionally was in September when the sun was still bright in the sky. Fermentation took place in large, time-used barrels. The production was natural for that age and time and as long . Fermentation and storage was in large wooden barrels. One liter of seawater per 100 juice was used as a preservative. It was beautiful, inspiring and where my heart and soul lies, which is the foundation of what I now embody.
