What happened in 1993?

A truly successful year that produced wines far above average. In fact, it proved to be the third finest in the history of the new wine cellar. After 1971 and 1983, this vintage boasted a number of predicate wines.

In this year, the largest quantity of wines was filled and left to age. This meant that this particular vintage is – with its 20 different varieties in stock – the vintage best represented in our archive.

The vineyards produced a dry berry selection of Furmint, which was of extremely high quality. With a dry berry selection, only those with botrytis are picked from the grapes, without the stem. While the required sugar level is 154°Oe. This results in rich, extremely aromatic wines.

The Rhine Riesling ice wine from Vinski vrh was of particularly fine quality. This is an achievement, as the Rhine Riesling requires very specific vineyard conditions. That is, the grapes need to be protected from unfavourable weather as well as being able to receive lots of sunshine.

Who were the winemakers in 1993?

Matija Kociper

After graduating, Matija’s initial involvement at the company was as a technician. He was responsible for managing the 600 hectares of vineyards, a very difficult and time-consuming task. Once the new cellar opened in 1967, he was entrusted with running it and overseeing the winemaking technology. To this day, he is an exceptional wine taster and assessor. Over the years, he has devoted his immense knowledge and experience to making quality wines. To this day, his energy and enthusiasm still inspire his winemaking colleagues.

Lidija Ruška

Professor Veselič, the architect of the newly-built wine cellar in Ormož, invited Lidija to join the company as a highly educated staff member from the field of food technology. With constantly higher requirements regarding the quality of wine, there was a need not only for knowledge of winemaking, but also for knowledge of biochemical structure and the processes of maturing the wine. Working with Matija, Lidija was a remarkable wine assessor who participated in various assessment committees at home and abroad. She also held lectures for sommeliers and educated numerous wine-growers and wine-makers.
