What happened in 1977?

Vintages 1977 and 1978 were the finest for the Furmint variety. It was the first time that the company harvested the prime vineyards of Furmint. It was also a good year for the region’s dry berry selection, which was of exceptional quality. The ’78 Furmint Trocken Beeren Auslese is an excellent example.

Who were the winemakers in 1977?

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.
