What happened in 1999?

The fine weather conditions of 1999 enabled the production of Welschriesling and Rhine Riesling ice wines. The late harvest Sauvignon and Traminer also proved to be of supreme quality.

Who were the winemakers in 1999?

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.

Cvetka Sakelšek

The eastern part of Slovenia, the Podravje region, is famous for its excellent white wines. Within this region, the wine cellar in Ormož and the one in Ljutomer have always been the two most successful in producing quality white wines. To further improve the quality, the two cellars were united in 2009.

For a number of years, Cvetka was the winemaker in the wine cellar at Ljutomer and Ormož. She is a supreme wine taster with an excellent knowledge of the winemaking processes. Even today, she is still consulted for her expertise in the field.
