Discover Griffin Winery Sparkling Wines

Griffin Winery, nestled in the high-altitude vineyards of Bregovita Hrvatska on the Plešivica slopes. This winery masterfully combines centuries-old heritage with innovative winemaking techniques. The griffin, prominently featured in their logo, originates from the family coat of arms, awarded in 1759 by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria-Hungary, when the family received a noble title. With vineyards located over 400 meters above sea level and facing south, Griffin Winery enjoys ideal conditions for producing premium quality grapes.

Location

Griffin Winery is located on the highest slopes of Plešivica, over 400 meters above sea level, with vineyards facing south. This prime location offers optimal sun exposure, enabling the production of premium-quality grapes. The stunning views from the winery’s terrace overlook the valley and the surrounding vineyards, providing a perfect setting for wine tasting and events.

The Story

The Ivančić family has been cultivating vines for generations, with a written record of permission from Count Erdödy in 1773 for vineyard planting. Griffin Winery was among the first in Croatia to introduce cryomaceration technology, which enhances the floral and fruity aromas of their wines and sparkling wines. Krešimir Ivančić’s perfectionism, combined with modern technology and Plešivica’s unique terroir, has made the winery a standout in producing distinctive and character-rich wines, recognized internationally.

Vineyard

The Griffin vineyards are situated on the highest points of Plešivica, at over 400 meters above sea level, benefiting from ideal sun exposure. The southern orientation of the vineyards allows for the production of exceptional quality grapes. The family’s commitment to precision in grape cultivation ensures that each vintage reflects the finest expression of their terroir, producing some of the best still and sparkling wines in the world.

About the region

Bregovita Hrvatska, particularly the Plešivica slopes, is celebrated for its unique microclimates and high-altitude vineyards, making it a prime location for winemaking. The south-facing slopes ensure optimal sunlight, while the elevation brings cooler temperatures that enhance the complexity of the wines. This region is rich in winemaking history, a tradition that Griffin Winery continues, while also introducing modern techniques.
