Zavec Brothers, Lost & Found Skin Contact 2022, Haloze, Slovenia

Viticulture seems to be ingrained in the Slovenian family way of life. The Zavec family bought their first vineyard in 1995, taking the leap into a professional venture in wine, yet their ancestors were involved in vines for the love of it for many generations. They've since got plots in four different locations across the Haloze region in eastern Slovenia where they grow a combination of local and international varieties, all in a sustainable way with great care for nature. The latest generation of Zavecs, two brothers Aleksander and Patrik are continuing the families passion through making terroir driven wines with minimal intervention. They also keep bees and grow bee friendly plants amongst the vines as well as keeping bird boxes to aid the biodiversity of their land.
