About the facility

In the village of Donje Zleginje in the region of Župa on the family estate Botunjac, 230km south of Belgrade, world class wines Botunjac are created with an uncanny blend of tradition, technology and love of the eternal beverage. The Botunjac wines are born in the vineyards on a site called “Hrašnjaci” (a cleared thousand year old oak forest) which give the wines a unique and specific quality. In fact the winery is set up so every step of the winemaking process is gravity fed from harvesting the grapes, through maceration, fermentation, sedimentation, barrel aging and raking before bottling. Kosta prefers wild yeasts as they give the wine more complexity and doesn’t add enzymes or other additives. PINO BOTUNJAC Red wine, estate grown PINO NOIR 100%.
