In our cellar we have a truly special and unique barrel, in which an equally exceptional wine matures. The Repen stone barrel, made from Karst stone, was Tadej’s idea. It was custom-made by a local stonemason from a single piece of stone.

Inside this stone barrel, Vitovska Grganja matures — grapes that are carefully hand-harvested from our vineyards. Its distinctive structure and character come precisely from this unique ageing process: the wine rests in stone for one full year.

This gives the wine a more mineral, chalky and full-bodied profile. After one year in the stone barrel, it continues to mature for at least two more years in used barrique oak barrels, reaching its full expression.
