What happened in 2001?

This was the year in which a new brand of wine was launched – named Holermous – a brand especially designed for ageing. That’s why the Holermous wines are made from grapes grown in special areas, the finest the company has to offer. For the first time in the cellar’s history, we used a special method whereby the grapes were left to ripen for longer, resulting in higher sugar levels.

Who were the winemakers in 2001?

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.

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.
