Zavec Brothers
Terroir Whisperers of Slovenia
In the rolling hills of Slovenia, the Zavec family has turned winemaking into an art form. Originally just for home sipping, they scaled up after 1995 and now steward about 26 hectares over four prime vineyard sites, packed with both local and global grape stars. Their work is all about terroir storytelling: lush biodiversity, sustainable practices, and spotlighting the soil—whether it’s calcareous, shale, or sandy—each vintage echoes that sense of place.
From spritzy Pet Nats to poised Pinot Noir, every bottle bursts with energy, balance, and complexity. Their lineup captures the rugged beauty and quiet elegance of eastern Slovenia. No gimmicks, just pure regional pride.
