Ivan Kosovec is a winemaker from Popovača in Croatia’s Moslavina region. He and his family own 3 hectares of vineyards, focusing on the indigenous Škrlet grape, along with Chardonnay, Zweigelt, Frankovka, and Pinot Noir. Ivan practices organic viticulture, using minimal copper and sulfur, and no synthetic chemicals or fertilizers. In the cellar, he follows a non-interventionist approach, fermenting with indigenous yeasts and avoiding additives like enzymes or fining agents. His wines reflect the terroir and his commitment to purity, with minimal sulfites added. Ivan’s philosophy, rooted in organic principles, has been unchanged since his first great vintage in 2011.
