The [iker inn is well known to all who travel frequently between Maribor and Lenart - reputed for its well prepared traditional dishes and excellent wines from the estate's vineyards. Milan [iker maintains the high standards of quality established by his father Jo`e [iker, winner of numerous awards at wine fairs and a knight of the Burgerland-Pannonian Order.
[iker's 1.8 hectares (4.45 acres) grow mostly white grapes traditional to the Maribor area: La{ki Rizling is the dominant grapevine, and the winery is particularly well known for its Rumeni Mu{kat. Its Rizvanec is a consistent table wine. Modra Frankinja is [iker's only red grape, producing a light wine of quality range.
[iker's wines are rarely found in shops as most are sold at the inn. The estate has a deep wine cellar with a well maintained wine archive.
Rumeni Mu{kat has won most of [iker's awards, and his Beli Pinot, La{ki Rizling, and Mu{kat Otonel have also been regaled with gold medals in Ljubljana and Maribor.
[iker's best vintages are 1983, 1985, 1986, 1991, and 1993.
