The enormous potential of Župa’s predominantly clay and limestone soil and continental climate is recognized once again. The soil structure is very complex and varies from block to block. Clay soils are composed of variety of minerals containing variable amounts of water trapped in the mineral structure and perfectly feeding our vines with all necessary ingredients.

When cultivating the vines we rely primarily on the tremendous experience of our grandfather Mr. Budimir Zdravković. He always felt that the region’s vineyards had enormous potential; however the quality of local practice was just below required high standards. We quickly understood that we first had to restore the soil and improve existing viticulture practices. We identified the vineyards and growers with the most potential and continued with the proper viticultural practices and canopy management of all our vineyards.

A true renaissance is taking place in our region and, of course, at our estate. With the unique terroir, vines planted on picturesque hills and incredible soil diversity and within an extraordinary favourable microclimate, we are blessed to make wines showing many subtle facets and true sense of the place. It is always done honoring hard work and experience of many generations of people involved with wine in the Župa region. We ultimately believe that our wines are pure and in total harmony with the beauty of our ancestral land, and the uniqueness of our estate.
