ERZETIC Family Heritage
Knowledge cannot be bought, and so is true love. We learn all our lives, learn from the experience of our parents, and pass it on to the next generation.
Since 1725, we have combined rich experience with the natural environment, grape cultivation and winemaking, and will also pour the love of the world and the Brda into our wines, and pass them on from generation to generation.
Erzetic Manor is located in the village of Višnjevik, designed by Martin Erzetič. Because of this, the Erzetič estate has always been called the Land of Martin (Martin Holy Land).
Decades ago, Anton Erzetič appointed his son Aleksij Erzetič a few years ago, while Aleksij Erzetič also handed over the wine industry and winery management to his son Andrej Erzetič. Each generation of winery successors has their own vision, but will never deviate from the values of the family, such as diligence, teamwork and continuous improvement of vineyards and cellars. During the harvest season, these values are most evident – after months of hard work, a movement has been established for the beginning of the new wine story.
Visnjevik village and vineyard
The Brda Mountains extend from the right bank of the Soča river to the Everuri area, which is located at an altitude of 219 meters, and the village of Višnjevik is located here. During the Middle Ages, it was Rittersberg The location of the monarch manor in Rittsburg, yes The oldest manor in Brda.
Steep slopes are not suitable for agricultural production, but favorable climatic conditions are conducive to the growth of grapes, olives, cherries and fig trees. Climate conditions are influenced by the Julian Alps and the Adriatic, the soil here is pyretics And sandstone layer of the mixture,Rich in calcium and minerals.
In the Brda area, especially in the vineyards of Erzetic, there is no heavy machinery operation space, so it needs to be carefully cultivated and picked, and the terraced fields form beautiful natural lines around the steep slopes. The Azeqi family conforms to the natural environment and advocates Pure natural, original grape growing and winemaking methods,and developed unique organic viticulture base.
Modern Wine Cellar & Traditional Underground Claypot
In our latest cellar, many large clay clay pots are buried deep underground, just like the way ancient cider and wine were made in 6000 BC. These pots have different capacities of 360 liters to 2500 liters, which are the best containers for long-term aging except for the aging method of the barrels. Thanks to the aging time obtained after careful consideration, the winemaker can maximize the potential of the wine and develop a unique wine style according to the grapes picked at each time. For young and fresh wines, it is not realistic to get the timelessness of aging time, just like in a stainless steel can with a aging of a wine puree, which is not realistic. In ancient times, people calculated the aging and bottling time of the wine according to the circle of the moon. Today, we combine these ancient experiences with modern knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment to allow wine to mature and aging in the most natural way. Whether it is in the vineyard or in the cellar, everything is designed to allow the winemaker to turn the joy of harvesting high-quality healthy grapes into the flavor of the wine by picking the highest-quality healthy grapes, and pass this joy to the wine taster.
wine that grows with us
The complexity of our wine cannot be limited to a few chemical formulas, and it is by no means a large number of words to describe clearly. Wine is a product of nature, giving people a fleeting feeling. Humans try to comprehend the gifts of nature and try to preserve her beauty in order to be closely connected with nature. Erzetic wine talks about the connection between the earth, the vines and people. We pay tribute to the generous nature with a glass of champagne sparkling wine, thank her with young wine, and define her ever-changing with ripe wine. When we toast, everything is silent.
Rebula
When the grapes are ripe, it is the season for harvesting and harvesting. The first to mature is the Burgundy variety (Grey Pino and Shadonni), and the Bordeaux breed needs more time to achieve a balance between sugar and acid. The bright sunshine of late summer and early autumn is captured by two kinds of rebula, namely yellow rebula And black rebula. We first mentioned Rebula in a sales agreement signed in 1336, when Henry Rittsberg acquired a vineyard, which produces six barrels of rebula grapes each year. For a long time,Yellow Rebula has always been considered a symbol of the Brda region and black rebula(also called ‘Pokaka”) almost forgotten.Erzetic is the first winery in the Brda region to produce both of these two Rebula wines at the same time. The peculiarity of the Rebula wine enables the winemaker to use it as a basic variety of brewing wine, fresh wine, barrel aging wine, and clay pot aging wine (the clay container under the ground). In short,Rebula is a grape variety that can be ever-changing.
Fresh Wine – Tribute to Unique and Beautiful Moments
Grapes, after picking at the most suitable season, are placed in a stainless steel can to ferment to preserve the original natural characteristics. The harmony between the original maturity and freshness of grape pulp is transformed into a harmony and balance between alcohol and acidity. These are the wines that are suitable for the beautiful moments of daily life, they are both simple and complex, just like life itself.

Ancient Roman Claypot Series – Imagination Time
Clay pot is a masterpiece of wine bottle designers, and it is also the bottle we use to can be the best-selling wine. Picked grapes are carefully selected from the best of the vineyard, fermented and fermented in oak barrels and aged in clay pots in the underground. Long-term skin fermentation is made, so that the original characteristics and advantages of grapes are best preserved in the wine, and form a unique and ripe wine style. It is suitable for formal occasions, special dishes, corporate activities, etc.
