Sparkling Wine Production<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our sparkling wine production is based on quick processing without maceration, gentle pressing, and fermentation at 12\u201315\u00b0C. The wines mature in stainless steel tanks for 5 months. Secondary fermentation\u2014the traditional method of bottle fermentation\u2014lasts 1.5 to 2 years. Six months after disgorgement, the sparkling wines are released to the market.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Currently, three sparkling wines are available for sale, with three more in production and aging, including a Muscat sparkling wine that will be launched at the end of the year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our goal for this and the coming year is to modernize the equipment used in traditional-method sparkling wine production, which will significantly enhance precision and quality while also simplifying and accelerating the production process.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A Love for Sparkling Wines<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I fell in love with sparkling wine production from the very beginning, starting with those first experimental bottles my father and I made just for our own enjoyment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our passion for sparkling wines is so strong that it has become a way of life, and by the end of 2025 we plan to dedicate 90% of our production to sparkling wines.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Beginning of the Story<\/div>

The wine story began about twenty years ago, when the family started winemaking as a hobby.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div>
2016.<\/div><\/div>
The Continuation of the Story<\/div>

2016. Years after taking the vineyards into my own hands, I invested in innovation, modernizing production, and expanding the vineyards. What began as a hobby evolved into serious winemaking, and we started marketing premium wines under the Vina Furjan brand.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The vineyards are planted with Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling, Gra\u0161evina, and Yellow Muscat, and are located along a route stretching from Vinica Brega through the wine road of the Cesti\u0107i region.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Excellent exposure, micro-locations, favorable climate, and the most modern cultivation and care techniques have enabled significant progress in achieving top-quality grapes for winemaking.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div>

Further Development<\/div>

In 2018, Vina Furjan began a new chapter with the bottling of its first sparkling wines produced using the traditional method of bottle fermentation. A blend of Gra\u0161evina and Chardonnay resulted in the creation of the sparkling wine \u201cDominus,\u201d which in Latin means: lord, first, ruler.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Following the initial success with the first sparkling wines, the first Ros\u00e9 sparkling wine made from Pinot Noir was introduced in 2019.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Two years later, the TRADITION line of sparkling wines was launched, featuring a more complex expedition liqueur.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
