Visit our family wine making by appointment. A family winery and ancestral estate with a vivid and almost tangible spirit of tradition and history, situated at the very top of St. Urban wine village featuring a magnificent view dozens of miles around, in the shade of two ancient sycamore trees, immense serene landmarks to any wayfarer exploring the landscape. Given that tradition is dominating the wine cellar, the vineyards display a completely modern approach revealing the family as true masters of their trade: high-density planting, short pruning, low yields, grassy surfaces and steep slopes for necessary insolation provide the best possible grape quality which, of course is clearly reflected in the wine. The tasting room, where you spend most of the time anyway is a magnificent attraction of its own. A miraculous wooden lodge, masterfully handcrafted from parts of the old presses, used barrel staves and other pieces of traditional cellar inventory, it is a genuine family museum.

These are rich and powerful wines in a fairly different style from other regional producers, always with subdued, moderate acidity and lightly elevated level of alcohol, very stable and definitely capable of aging. They appear in two key categories: sweet Predicates or Regular semi-dry and dry wines. The outstanding predicates can be compared in style and quality with the best Pinot Gris or Gewurztraminer from Alsace, the dry and semi-dry wines however are a fantastic expression of the personality of both Lovrec father and son. They simply do not care about trends and insistently keep pushing their sincere conviction and belief by promoting very rich, soft, delicious, lush, sometimes sweet and potent wines crafted in utter harmony between man and nature. This is sustainable winemaking and viticulture the Lovrec Family way. ( written by Croatian journalist Saša Špiranec)
