Wine road of Međimurje Lovrec

A family winery and ancestral estate with a vivid and almost tangible spirit of tradition and history, situated at the very top of St. Urban wine village featuring magnificent view dozens of miles around, in the shade of two ancient sycamore trees, immense serene landmarks to any wayfarer exploring the landscape. In ancient Slavic culture sycamore trees were believed to befortunate trees in which thunder doesn’t hit and they symbolised strengthens of character because of deep roots. Those two threes on Lovrecʹs estate are about 350-year-old and are protected as park architecture. Given that tradition is dominating the wine cellar, the vineyards display a completely modern approach revealing the family as true masters of their trade: high-density planting, short pruning, low yields, grassy surfaces and steep slopes for necessary insolation provide the best possible grape quality which, of course is clearly reflected in the wine. The tasting room, where you spend most of the time anyway is a magnificent attraction of its own. A miraculous wooden lodge, masterfully handcrafted from parts of the old presses, used barrel staves and other pieces of traditional cellar inventory, it is a genuine family museum. Above the old cellar has its ethnographic collection with artefacts mainly related to traditional winegrowing.
