Our story
Our story begins in 1972 in the small village of Tinjska Gora, not far from the town of Slovenska Bistrica, where Anton Mernik Sr. bought the parish estate that came with a house and a wine cellar. During that time, 3000 vine
plants of the Sauvignon and Welschriesling varieties were planted on the estate and the two varieties later became the basis for the pride of all Styrian wines - Ritoznojčan PTP.
How we started
In 1990, his daughter Zdenka, married Avguštin, takes over the estate with her husband Miran. With the growing demand for wine, the set strategy was very simple - to increase the quantities of wine as well as to improve its quality. They decided to restore the existing vines and plant a new vineyard with the varieties of Welschriesling, Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Yellow Muscat and Pinot Gris - a grand total of ten thousand vines. The restoration of the vineyard also required a transition from the terraced into a vertical form. Our range of vines allowed us to join the Ritoznojčan Consortium and to produce high-quality Ritoznojčan PTP wine.
