Although Miran Sirk's production is based on long tradition, Bjana is a relatively new trade name. Sirk named his wines after the oldest wine cellar in the Brda area: the Bjana cellar is a 400-year-old architectural masterpiece that Miran Sirk has renovated with great respect for history.
Bjana sparkling wines are made from the traditional Rebula complemented by the liveliness of the more modern Chardonnay. Bottled wines with added liqueur de tirage are aged for at least eighteen months and the remuage is done manually, although Sirk will eventually install mechanical pulpitres in keeping with modern trends.
Bjana sparking wines are brut to dry, impeccably processed, lively, and fresh, yet with a subdued velvety taste. Most of Bjana's production is sold in neighbouring Italy.
