"Erzeti~" is a very common family name in Brda, which can be quite baffling for wine enthusiasts. Robert Erzeti~ is less well known than Aleksij Erzeti~: he belongs to the latest generation of Brda vignerons who must still work to achieve recognition.
Robert Erzeti~ cultivates three hectares (7.4 acres) of vineyards near Ple{ivo; these are medium-height sites, between 200 and 300 meters (494 - 741 ft.) above sea level. White wines comprise the majority of his production: Sivi Pinot, Tokaj, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon. Merlot is his only red. He harvests thirty tons of grapes annually and produces 150 hectoliters (3963 gallons) of wine.
Most of Robert Erzeti~'s production is table wine. An annual one hundred hectoliters (2642 gallons) is a blend of Tokaj and Malvazija, particularly popular in Brda and neighbouring areas. Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Tokaj, and Merlot are bottled as varietal wines: half reach the high-quality range, the rest is quality wine.
Robert Erzeti~'s best vintage is the 1994.
