The Stari Hrast Cellar was first established in the year of 2008, at the time when a lot of ideas related to creating a new “wine Serbia“ started growing and when some already big names in the wine industry began to appear. Our vision has always been the same and it still remains to be a family winery with its own plantations and capacities that can be managed within the family circle itself, with the involvement of leading experts in the field of wine and brandy production. The cellar is named after a 200-year-old oak tree that is located in the vineyard itself and is remembered by the oldest residents of the area.
We are particularly proud of the fact that all our products are obtained exclusively from the products planted and hand-picked on our own plantations, where particular attention is paid to determining the timing of harvest which should be organized in accordance with the optimal cycle of biological maturity of fruit and grapes. The processing of fruit and grapes from the plateau above the village of Zirovnica, which is swept by the winds blowing from the surrounding Sumadija hills, is carried out in the premises of the Stari Hrast winery. Being part of the production plant, there is a tasting room with a capacity of up to 50 people.
Vineyard
The Old Oak winery occupies an area of 10 hectares of vineyards which were built in the village of Zirovnica, on the road leading from Kragujevac to Batocina, and which belong to the Sumadija vineyard. The specificity of each parcel is carefully combined with the selected grape varieties, so that each one of them can develop their maximum potential in accordance with the optimal soil and favorable climatic conditions. © www.JohnWolfrik.com 2017.
