Korkyra Winery
About winery
Korkyra Winery, located in Blato on the island of Korčula, is a young winery led by enologist Matej Jovanov. Matej, who grew up surrounded by wine thanks to his father, Janko Jovanov, a former manager of PZ Čara and a highly respected enologist, now leads this winery with great passion. In collaboration with friends and colleagues Ivan Radovanović and Nikola Mirošević, he created the exceptional sparkling wine “Tris,” a blend of three varieties: Pošip, Rukatac, and Cetinka. From the 2014 harvest, 2,000 bottles were produced, with 1,500 already released to the market. The remaining bottles will stay on the lees for three years to develop into a mature sparkling wine. In addition to sparkling wine, the winery offers a blend of four indigenous varieties: Pošip, Rukatac, Bratkovina, and Cetinka. With an annual production of around 40,000 liters, Korkyra uses only its own grapes from various locations on Korčula, aiming to deliver an authentic taste of this unique island.
