About the wine

The first Batič wines were born in the 16th century and were shaped by the skilled hands of the monks of the Batič estate 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 wine production, which has been passed down from generation to generation over four hundred years. Batič wines are more than a tribute - they are a continuation of the traditions and methods of the Šempas monks. They are her legacy. Miha Batič, who runs the winery in the latest generation, is known for his white wines, which he leaves on the skins for a particularly long time, but also for his Cabernets and Merlot. The wines are produced from old vines biodynamically (Demeter) in harmony with nature and phases of the moon. Batič works like a man possessed in a vineyard. He can tell a story about every floor of his completely green vineyards, some of which are laid out in terraces. Batič's vineyards are located in the limestone hills of the Karst with its underground rivers and sinkholes. The wines are fermented and aged in Slovenian oak barrels, where they are never touched again. No yeast agitation, no shaking, no sulfurization, no filtration.
