Our line of fresh wines is made up of Malvasia, Chardonnay, Rosé, Merlot, Teran and

White Muscat. In order to promote our area as effectively and as successfully as

possible, but also with the aim of creating and presenting the specific design of our wine

labels, we chose to dedicate the labels of our core line to the diverse historical heritage

and local archaeological sites. In fact, in the immediate vicinity of our winery there is a

cave known as Trdačina, an archaeological site rich in pottery from the Middle Bronze

Age. The thousand-year-old decorative elements, notches, curved and horizontal lines

from the pottery pieces, came to life on the label, which is, in a certain sense, an

illustration of a lesser-known period of prehistory in the area of Labin and on the eastern

coast of Istria. This type of creative design solution is focused on the presentation and

promotion of the local history and implies a connection between the cultural heritage

and the specific characteristics of the area where our wines are produced, as part of the

oenological offer available in Labin and its surroundings.

Sveta Barbara and Crno zloto, Saint Barbara and Black gold, Malvasia Barrique and Cuvée Barrique from the Barrique series, are the wines with which the Juričić winery joined the celebration of the 100 th anniversary of the Labin Republic, the brief strike and self-management of Labin miners that took place in March and April 1921. Behind the decision to choose the patron saint of miners („Sv. Barbara“) and the name “Crno zloto”, which in Labin’s dialect (cakavica) is the synonym for coal, or karbon in the same vernacular, the exploitation of which, in this part of Istria, lasted more than two centuries, there are two types of wine: a white one belonging to the Malvasia family and a red wine, cuvée, in which, in addition to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, there is also the indigenous variety known as Teran. The design of the label, reminiscent of Italian Rationalism, tells the story of the important historical event with the instantly recognisable motif of the recently restored coal mine winding tower (known in Labin as “šoht”) and with the typeface designed by A. Butti in 1930, called “Semplicità”. The choice of the cardboard box with the traditional miners’ greeting SRETNO! (good luck), the hammer and the pick, as well as the name of the producer printed in gold, is a homage to the miners’ ceremonial uniform, which was black and had golden decorations. Thus, the rich and precious local mining heritage, especially its part dating back to the period that immediately preceded the Second World War and to the beginning of the conflict, has had a successful presentation in the context of the wine offer in Labin and in its surroundings.

The base wine for this sparkling wine is made from the grapes of Istrian Malvasia. It is produced according to the traditional method of bottle fermentation. The wine is characterised by an elegant straw yellow colour, it is crystal clear and partially dense. When poured into a glass, the wine develops a long-lasting foam.It is characterised by notes of fresh fruit, pears and peaches, followed by those of bread crust and yeast. On the second sniff what dominates is a note of citrus fruits, as well as those of dry almonds and wildflower honey. A pleasant freshness and the intensity of the flavour are its dominant features. 

It is best paired with raw seafood specialities. 

An extra virgin olive oil made from more varieties which represents an ideal combination of the Leccino, Pendolino, Buža and Istarska bjelica varieties. It is characterised by an intense green colour and by a wonderful scent. Moderate and balanced in terms of bitterness and spiciness, it is a well-balanced mix resulting in an abundance of scents and flavours of the olive’s fruit.

Wine vinegar obtained from being stored in barrique barrels. The product is aged for 5 years and is therefore produced in limited quantities for maximum quality.
