Producer Information

The first Batič A wines date back to the 16th century. century and the Batič monks in Šempas. The estate has changed significantly since then: the paintings on the walls have faded, the names of the monks have been forgotten. The only remaining legacy of the once proud monks is the knowledge and tradition of high-quality winemaking, which has been passed down from generation to generation for more than four hundred years. Batič wines are not just tributes - they are a continuation of the traditions and methods of the Šempas monks. Miha Batič, who is the youngest generation of the winery, is known for his white wines, which are particularly long-lasting on their skins, as well as for Cabernets and Merlots. The wines are made from biodynamically (Demeter) old vines, in harmony with nature and the phases of the moon. Batič works like a maniac in the vineyard. You can tell a story from each floor of its completely green vineyards, some of which are terraced. Batič The vineyards are located on the chalk karst hills with their underground rivers and sinkholes. The wines are fermented and aged in Slovenian oak barrels, where they are never touched again. The yeast cannot be mixed, without shaking, without desulfurization, without filtering.
