Located in the village of Šišan, in the south of Istria, Croatia, our artisanal family winery spans 11 hectares of biodynamic vineyards. Just 7 km northeast of Pula, we are dedicated to producing elegant, terroir-driven natural wines through low-intervention methods. Our approach reflects a deep respect for the land, with manual harvesting and the use of natural materials in the vineyard, spraying only up to three times a year. With an annual production of approximately 30,000 bottles, we focus on handcrafting wines that embody the unique character of our region.

Currently, we are in the process of registering for Demeter certification, and by 2024, we will be candidates to join the RespektBiodyn organization. Our commitment to sustainability and biodynamics shapes every aspect of our winemaking, as we aim to create wines that tell the story of our land and traditions.

Our wine portfolio showcases the diversity and richness of Istrian terroir, with a focus on natural, low-intervention wines. Highlights include Uroboros 2019, a slightly macerated Istrian Malvazija, and Istraditional 2018, an orange wine macerated for 40 days, both aged in acacia barrels. For red wine lovers, we offer the Revolution cuvée 2018, a blend of Cabernet, Syrah, Merlot, and Teran aged in French oak barrels, as well as the single-variety LukaLuna 2018 (Merlot) and Terra Mare 2018 (Teran).

We also produce the unique the ONE cuvée 2016, a Syrah and Teran blend, aged for four years in French oak, and the premium MOIA Syrah 2017, a hand-destemmed wine fermented and aged in oak for three years. Our rosé, MPV (Moje Prvo Vino) 2022, crafted by Irena, adds a refreshing touch to our collection with 100% Montepulciano.
