Jurij and Slavica Cvitani~ 2272 Gori{nica 62 phone: +386 62 708-334 |
The small vineyard of Jurij and Slavica Cvitani~ near Zamu{anski vrh is meticulously maintained. Half of their one hectare (2.5 acres) is planted with Renski Rizling, the rest with [ipon and Sauvignon.
Renski Rizling is the Cvitani~ specialty, a varietal wine prepared either from regular or late harvest grapes. Their semi-sweet late harvest Renski Rizling is particularly aromatic and quite heavy; the 1994 vintage won the winery the gold medal at the Ptuj Wine Fair. Production is unfortunately small: only fifteen hectoliters (396 gallons) annually, regular and late harvest wine combined.
In the Cvitani~ vineyards, [ipon vines are a minority, but they yield more grapes than the Renski Rizling. [ipon is blended with Sauvignon in a quality wine, some 35 hectoliters (925 gallons) annually.
Due to the low production, the excellent Cvitani~ Renski Rizling is very hard to find outside Podravje.
