Sparkling Wine
The beginnings of sparkling wine production using the traditional method date back to 2008, when we produced our first sparkling wine from the yellow Muscat variety. That year, I returned from a two-year study of winemaking in France and brought with me, in addition to my French degree, my current wife, Emanuela, who is Portuguese by birth and also holds a degree in food technology. On the occasion of this happy event, my mother Danica suggested that we name the new sparkling wine Emanuela in her honour. And so, to this day, our sparkling wines bear the name of Emanuela.  Since then, we have sparkling wines made using the traditional method in our permanent offer. In 2012, we acquired a modern line of equipment for disgorging sparkling wines. Today, we offer 3 different Emanuela sparkling wines, including two whites (one dry and one semi-dry) and one rosé (brut – completely dry). All our sparkling wines boast extended maturation on yeast (up to ten years), as we believe that with years of maturing on lees, the sparkling wine continually improves. The quality of our sparkling wine is further confirmed by two medals (gold and silver) at the Glass of Bubbly international competition in London. Moreover, we had the special honour of crafting a sparkling wine for the world and Olympic hammer throw champion Primož Kozmus, who is also our fellow townsman. This sparkling wine is still available today and is sold under the name PRIMUS IN COSMOS (First in the Universe).
