Klinec

The Klinec family has been growing vines in Medana since 1918; Aleks Klinec runs the estate in the fourth generation. The vineyards cover just under six hectares in several parcels on terraces with Ponca, or flysch, soils. Biodynamic preparations, organic methods and cover crops are used in the vineyard; herbicides, synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilisers are avoided. The grapes come from the estate’s own harvest and are picked by hand. In the cellar, the estate works with spontaneous fermentations, skin contact and acacia, mulberry, oak and cherry casks; only a small amount of sulphur is added before bottling.
