The family’s wine story began in 1934, when Martin Puklavec set a vision: to create the best wines together.

Tradition is intertwined with the most modern technology, which sets new trends in the field of winemaking and viticulture.

By taking over the Macedonian cellar, Puklavec Family Wines strengthens its place among the largest wine cellars in this part of Europe.

They are represented by recognizable lines of fresh and popular wines Jeruzalem Ormož and Ljutomerčan, as well as exclusive lines of more complex wines Seven Numbers and Estate Selection, which are intended exclusively for the HoReCa segment.

Puklavec Family Wines also has the largest archive cellar in Slovenia, where more than 250,000 bottles are stored, including the best vintages, including the legendary Sauvignon vintage from 1963.
