The beginnings of Kmetija Mahnič Farm date back to 1875, when grandfather Karlo had mainly been engaged in fruit growing. The first vineyards bore white and black Burgundy wine. After 1991, Mahnič Family, as it is today, seriously made viticulture their core business and planted new vineyards. Malvasia, Refosco, white and black Burgundy, Bianchera, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Yellow Muscat, Momjan Muscat and Cipro are flourishing on nine hectares.
Having studied agronomy, Mr Vili switched to viticulture. Wishing to offer wine tastings of different varieties on the farm and having the desire to preserve the old varieties, the Mahnič family began planting new vineyards began on their estate. Vili’s legacy paved the way to modern winemaking and to this day, this remains our vision.
