Wine & Chocolate

As the young heir to the estate, I gradually took over the reins together with my wife Emanuela. My parents Lojze and Danica still stand firmly by our side, actively and selflessly helping in all areas of operation (vineyard cultivation, cellaring, tastings, and the daily running of the winery). As a food technologist and winemaker, I take care of the development of viticulture and winemaking, while my wife Emanuela, also a food technologist, focuses on the production and development of chocolate products. Emanuela is the one who brought the love of chocolate to the Kunej house.
Wines of superior quality from the Sremič region

Wine

The Kunej family have always produced wines that show character and stand out from the average. I myself want to continue with this philosophy, and, at the same time, bring the quality of our wines and our winery as a whole to an even higher level. The first condition for this is excellent vineyard sites, which we certainly enjoy after the last revitalization. Growing at these prime vineyard locations, the grapes can ripen better and reach an overall better quality, which is later also reflected in the quality of the wines. But talking only about quality seems dry and empty.
CHOCOLAT IMPÉRIAL

Chocolate

“Chocolat Impérial” is a brand name and, at the same time, a symbol of quality with important historical background. Back in 1912, the Austrian Emperor Franz Josef awarded the Trappist monks from Rajhenburg Castle the title “IMPERIAL” in recognition of the quality of their products. Under the Imperial brand, the monks successfully marketed chocolates, cocoa and tea in various parts of Europe. They were also masters in the production of cheeses, liqueurs, wines and sparkling wines.

  • VELVET ROSÉ l.2021, 0,75 l

    VELVET ROSÉ l.2021, 0,75 l

    VELVET Rosé is a fresh rosé wine 100% produced from Žametna Črnina from the Sremič site by the stone cottage. Due to the frost, the yield was about 0.5 kg per vine, but this helped the grapes to ripen to the maximum and we were able to produce a nice rosé wine. It has a light and lively pink colour, tasting fresh and mineral. Dry and balanced.

    We recommend it either on its own or with light seafood and meat dishes, it also goes well with Asian dishes.
    Serve chilled at 7-9 °C (44.5-48 °F)

  • ROSÉ l.2021, 0,75 l

    ROSÉ l.2021, 0,75 l

    ROSÉ is a wine made from ripe Blaufränkisch grapes grown on the Sremič vineyard next to the Kunej stone cottage. It is a full-bodied wine with a lively acidity, making it great for ageing in the bottle (3-5 years). Despite the slight residual sugar, it still feels dry and oily at the same time, and remains in the mouth long time after drinking.

  • Cuvée LEVIN Prestige, red wine, l.2022, 0,75 l

    Cuvée LEVIN Prestige, red wine, l.2022, 0,75 l

    Cuvée LEVIN PRESTIGE is a rich, mature, dark red wine blend, predominantly composed of Merlot (2/3) and Blaufränkisch (1/3). The grapes for this wine come from an excellent vineyard location (Roševo – Sremič), which enables above-average ripening. The wine aged for 15 months in used oak barrique barrels, developing into an expressive red wine with a full flavor and pleasant aroma, featuring notes of dried plums, sweet licorice, and leather. Thanks to its ripe and sweet tannins, the wine is ready for immediate consumption, but it can also continue to age in the bottle, potentially for 5 to even 10 years.

    It can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes, including red meat, game, cured meats, selected cheeses, and other local delicacies from the Posavje region.
