Petrač winery
Discover our exquisite wines from the unique terroir of Hršak breg, where tradition meets innovation.
The Petrač family, a centuries-old name in the Zagorje region, takes pride in its ancestral heritage. The Hršak breg vineyard is a testament to this legacy, showcasing an undivided 10-hectare plot that has been carefully cultivated over generations. In a landscape where local families traditionally divide their land, our continuous ownership of this vineyard is a remarkable achievement, allowing us to create wines that echo history and passion.
At Petrač Winery, we are committed to excellence. Our flagship wine, Karizma, is a Bordeaux blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and infused with 30% Merlot, presenting a stunning ruby red color with intense purple reflections. We also take great pride in our well-structured Chardonnay and vibrant sparkling wines that have garnered awards and commendations in various international wine competitions.
With around 40,000 vine plants nurtured on our 10-hectare vineyard, we utilize the traditional single Guyot growing system that aligns with the geographical and climatic conditions of our region. Our commitment goes beyond producing great wines; we strive to perfect our craft year after year, adapting to new challenges while retaining our rich traditions.
Our dedication has been recognized at prestigious platforms including the Decanter World Wine Awards and World Wine Awards. Notable achievements include:
| Year | Wine Type | Award |
