THIS IS OUR SECRET…

Introducing Slovenia’s finest fizz, crafted by the Istenič family. If you know, you know.

Boundary Pushing

We do one thing perfectly: Fine fizz.

Whether you’re sipping on Istenič’s Sommelier Wine Awards Critics Choice Cuvée Natura, bottled with no added sulphur, or enjoying the beautifully elegant vintage Prestige blanc de blancs, this is extra special winemaking.

So let’s keep it between us…

Family Driven

Our winery was founded by first generation winemaker Janez Istenič, who trained in Champagne. Janez put Slovenian sparkling wine on the map. The brand was spearheaded by his son Miha into a modern world, serving dignitries and critics across the globe. Istenič is now in the hands of third generation Mark and Nik, ready for what comes next.
