Producer Information: Markovic Estates

Markovic Estates is based in the rolling hills of northern Croatia, where the unique microclimate and mineral-rich soils provide an ideal environment for viticulture. The estate was founded in the early 1990s by the Markovic family, who combined generations of agricultural expertise with a passion for winemaking. Their production approach centers on sustainable farming practices, hand-harvesting grapes at optimal ripeness, and employing both traditional and modern vinification techniques to preserve varietal character and terroir expression.

Beyond their flagship wines, Markovic Estates offers a diverse portfolio that includes indigenous Croatian varietals such as Graševina and Plavac Mali alongside international favorites like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate also produces small-batch brandies distilled from estate-grown fruit, as well as craft liqueurs infused with local botanicals. In recent years, they have expanded into artisanal beer brewing using locally sourced barley and hops, further showcasing their commitment to quality across multiple beverage categories.
