The Jerkovi\u0107 Winery began its story in 1998 as a small family estate. What started as a continuation of the family’s bond with the vineyard and with wine grew in time into a serious wine story, one that today positions Kujund\u017eu\u0161a and Trnjak ever more firmly as the varieties carrying the winery’s identity.<\/p>

The winery is run today by Mate Jerkovi\u0107 together with his brother Tomislav Jerkovi\u0107 — the second generation, who set out to raise the family tradition to a new level without giving up its foundations. Their approach combines respect for the land and for the experience of earlier generations with a modern understanding of viticulture, production and the market.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Jerkovi\u0107 Winery bases its philosophy on just two varieties — Kujund\u017eu\u0161a and Trnjak.<\/p>

Kujund\u017eu\u0161a is the heart of this story. An indigenous white variety of the Imotski wine region, delicate and distinctive, it receives particular attention at the Jerkovi\u0107 Winery. Mate and Tomislav firmly believe that Imotski Kujund\u017eu\u0161a can belong among the very finest white wines in the world, and it is that belief which drives their work and their plans for the future.<\/p>

The winery’s second pillar is Trnjak, a powerful indigenous red variety to which the Jerkovi\u0107 family gives a character of its own. Their Trnjak carries the name Mra\u010daj, after the mountain site in the Imotski wine region — a place that further underlines the wine’s bond with its origin and its landscape.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The roots of the family story reach deeper than the founding of the winery itself. The tradition was kept in old stone houses dating from 1936, where people once lived, worked and created — and today it continues in a modern winery. It is precisely this meeting of stone, land, vineyard and family history that forms the foundation on which the new generation of the Jerkovi\u0107 Winery is building.<\/p>

The aim is not merely to continue what was started, but to create a winery with enough strength and quality to carry the story of Imotski wine far beyond the borders of the region.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Today the Jerkovi\u0107 Winery tends around 5,000 Kujund\u017eu\u0161a vines, while the long-term goal is to increase production significantly and reach a capacity of approximately 150,000 bottles a year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The new winery is an important step in the development of the Jerkovi\u0107 Winery. The new space has made better production conditions, greater capacity and a wider range of wines possible — yet the founding idea remains the same, because a new winery does not mean a new story.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
