What happened in 2006?

Compared to previous years, the vintage 2006 was of medium quality. It did unexpectedly produce a very good dry berry selection and a late harvest Welschriesling.

However, there were two wines in particular that stood out this year, as a result of their superlative quality. The first was the Traminec, which won the Golden Label at the Wine Salon in Ljubljana. A victim of its own success, this wine is unfortunately already out of stock. The second was the Laški Rizling (Welschriesling) Spätlese, which also won a medal that year. Fortunately, we still retain this one in our cellar.

2006 also saw another fermentation hall built alongside the existing cellar. The new thermally isolated hall increased the capacity of the cellar and enabled us to produce wine of an even higher quality.

Who were the winemakers in 2006?

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.

Danilo Šnajder

Prior to joining the company, Danilo had spent time in France, acknowledged as the leading wine producing country, where he gained first-hand experience in winemaking. Focusing in the field of refining, he learned to how improve the taste and the maturing of the wine. As a young man when he joined the company, he was open to new processes, experiments and fresh ideas. Danilo is, for instance, responsible for the introduction of the exclusive Holermous brand and the Muscat Sparkling wines.

Janja Klanjčar

Janja learnt the art of winemaking from some of the top winemakers. By 2008 she was solely responsible for the winemaking process. She made her mark by introducing Pinot Rosé and producing a top archive wine. Today, Janja specialises in quality management, ensuring high standards that are synonymous with our wines.
