To kick off a new series shining a light on family-owned wine estates around the world, we explore the sprightly whites of pioneering Slovenian estate Puklavec Family Wines.

Martin Puklavec had a singular vision when he started his Slovenian winery in 1934: to make the finest wines possible. This philosophy continues to resonate through the family’s winemaking today. The Puklavec family owned the estate before the advent of socialism, when ownership transferred to the state.
Following the collapse of the iron curtain, the family seized the opportunity to buy back the vineyards and start over, recruiting Mitja Herga as chief winemaker of Puklavec Family Wines in 2009, with the aim of making Old World wines with New World ambition.
