Voštinić – Klasnić

Tomislav Bolfan, the visionary behind the estate, practices strict organic farming, prioritizing the well-being of the vineyards and grapes over formal certification. Unbound by traditional norms, he opts for native yeast fermentations, often initiating the process in the cool morning hours to preserve Škrlet's exceptional aromatics. The estate's commitment to organic practices, coupled with Tomislav's unconventional approach, results in wines that encapsulate the essence of the terroir and the unique character of Škrlet. Tasting these wines offers a journey into a winemaker's philosophy, where authenticity and the pure expression of the grape take precedence over conventional labels.
