About the Producer

Matic Wines comes from Matija Žerjav, known simply as Matic, who took over his family's vineyards in Štajerska, Slovenia at just 24 years old. He's the third generation to farm this land near the Austrian and Hungarian border, and he works his nine hectares organically and biodynamically, the same way his grandfather taught him. 

 

We love that he didn't inherit a trend; he inherited a responsibility, and he's chosen to honor it rather than modernize it away. 

 

His cellar dates back to 1852, dug into the hillside to keep the wines steady through Štajerska's harsh winters and warm summers.

Why I Chose this Wine

I love a producer who takes a story as old as "si c'est bon" and turns it into something completely new. 

 

Matic makes his Šipon a pét-nat because he was sure the grape could handle it, and he was right: this shows off far more range than sipping it still ever could. 

 

When I want something with real texture and personality, something that tastes like a specific hillside in Slovenia and nowhere else, this is the bottle I reach for.
