Scurek Winery
Slovenia
Ščurek family is engaged in wine production already for ages - started by grand-grandfather Franc who produced more than 50 hectolitres of wine already in the beginning of 20th century. Today the winery is ran by Franc's son Ivan, grandson Stojan and 5 young grand-grand sons who are eager to continue family's superb tradition in the industry.
Ščurek family is cultivating more than 17 hectares of vineyards, what makes them one of the largest family wine producers in Slovenia. Notwithstanding the quantity, the family's main goal is to bring the quality even on higher levels.
Ščurek's vineyards are mostly located on sunny Italian part of Gorica hills such as Grotišče, Dugo, Mahober, Jazbine, Jordano, Gredič and Kozlink.
There is more than 80.000 bottles of Ščurek's fine wine offered on the markets all over the world each year. The family remains faithful to fresh, but full wine therefore they delay wine decanting in late spring.
With modern technology they try to discover all the secrets of oak barrels but a great emphasis is given to native varieties. They are particularly proud on their red and white Old Brajda, UP and Kontra.
Ščurek's home is located in sunny Goriška hills not far from Slovene sea side and Italy. Their estate includes vast landscape of vineyards and large wine cellars together with a special part of the cellar where wine tasting is organised for smaller and larger groups.
