The small vineyard of Jurij and Slavica CvitaniŸ near Zamuçanski vrh is meticulously maintained. Half of their one hectare (2.5 acres) is planted with Renski Rizling, the rest with æipon and Sauvignon.
Renski Rizling is the CvitaniŸ 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 CvitaniŸ vineyards, æipon vines are a minority, but they yield more grapes than the Renski Rizling. æipon is blended with Sauvignon in a quality wine, some 35 hectoliters (925 gallons) annually.
Due to the low production, the excellent CvitaniŸ Renski Rizling is very hard to find outside Podravje.
