Batistić-Zure family

Winery Founder Bartul Batistić

The Batistić family -Zure has been professionally engaged in grape and wine production since 1996, but far before they have a tradition of dealing with agriculture (viticulture, olive growing, vegetable growing, fishing, cattle breeding, etc.).

The winery has always been cherished, appreciated and engaged in production of autochthonous sorghum Grk from sandy teas of Lumbarda, both grape and wine.

2011 by the reclamation of karst and terrain in the position of “Defora” in Lumbarda, with the supervision of prof.dr.sc. Bernard Kozine from the Faculty of Agriculture in Zagreb, a modern vineyard with about 33 000 vines, an olive grove of about 500 olive trees, and an orchard with about 200 varieties of fruit were raised.

It is important to note that the wine that is produced is exclusively 100% made of grapes from its own vineyards.

The production accent is naturally on the indigenous Lumbard variety-Grk, and they are the largest producers of that grape and wine in Lumbarda. Along the “Bartul” Grk and Sur Lie, the winery produces wines from Pošip, Plavac mali, and “Rebellion” (blend of five black varieties- Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Plavac mali, Alicante Bouschet)

In addition to the above-mentioned wines, the vinery also produces sherry from grk ”Elysion” and sparkling wine from grk ”Quinta Essentia”, which conjure up the Grk variety in a way that has never been introduced before.

The Batistić-Zure family also deals with agrotourism where their efforts in the field of vegetable growing, fishing, olive growing, pig farming, etc. are placed in their restaurant “Zure”, where all products and traditional cuisine of this region can be tasted.

Apart from wines, the Batistić – Zure family is engaged with olive oil and various fruit and vegetable liqueurs production.

ZURE WINES

Grk Bartul.

Grk ”Bartul” – a dry top wine of the indigenous variety Grk. As it is a grape coming from a new grapevine vineyard, we can state that it is a new style and direction of that variety from the famous sandy Lumbarda fields.

Grk is a very specific variety, because it is a sort where male flower has no function, and for the pollination a flower of another variety is needed. This kind of specificity is united in only 1% of all wine varieties in the world.
