The Kozlović Estate is a gem of winemaking located in one of the most coveted wine regions of Croatia, Istria. This area is renowned for its brilliant white and red wines, and the Kozlović Estate, a family business that has existed since 1904, is at the forefront in the production of these high-quality wines. The love and passion for wine have been passed down from generation to generation in the Kozlović family, allowing them to explore and perfect viticultural techniques to produce wines that fully reflect the unique terroir of Istria. They are respected for their attention to detail and dedication at each stage of the winemaking process, from meticulous vineyard cultivation to careful wine production and maturation in the cellar. Nestled in the heart of lush valleys and gentle hills dotted with well-maintained vineyards and picturesque medieval towns, the estate spans approximately 25 hectares of fertile terroir. The vineyard is primarily planted with Malvazija Istarska, a native grape variety that produces a rich and aromatic white wine. However, the estate also produces Teran, a robust and complex red wine variety. The Kozlović Estate is not only renowned for its wines, but also for its outstanding contemporary architecture. The tasting room is a modern building that seamlessly blends into the surrounding landscape and offers panoramic views of the vineyards. Here, visitors can taste the wines while enjoying the stunning setting. Beyond producing award-winning wines, the Kozlović Estate is also committed to preserving the natural environment and promoting sustainable development.
