What happened in 1964?

In terms of quantity, the vintage of 1964 was particularly fine. This, in despite of the destructive rains throughout harvest time. They were so persistent that harvest continued until Saint Martin’s Day, the 11th of November. The entire process proved to be incredibly difficult, especially with the grapes still being transported by horses. As a result, only excellent wine producing areas, such as the Svetinje vineyards and Vinski vrh, created wines of real note.

Who were the winemakers in 1964?

Ivan Cvetko

In the early years, the refinement of wine in cellars was conducted by cellar men alone, rather than by oenologists. After enjoying the expertise of Jože Šnajder, the company was on the hunt for a worthy successor. Ivan Cvetko continued the tradition with the same utmost professionalism until his departure in 1967. Originating from Ptuj, a small town near Ormož, Ivan grew up in the area. He was an exceptional wine taster and wine assessor.

Martin Puklavec

Still famous for his vision and leadership, Martin Puklavec has always been a part of the company. Growing up and working in the vineyards as a young boy, Martin developed a passion for wine. After studying agriculture in Ljubljana, he entered the company in 1934. For many years he was the manager of the cellar in Ormož were he put new, innovating ideas into practice. Numerous changes and investments were made, which resulted in the increase in quality of the wine and the exporting of the wine abroad. But in the end it was his vision - making the best possible wine collectively - that inspired people in the whole region.
