FAMILY & TRADITION

In order to enable our divine tree to start all over again, and dive into a new period of its ever-lasting juvenility and youth, it has been assigned the role of the symbol of our family sanctity enshrined with creativity and production: hence, the Old Oak represents the central being, pivot and guardian of our vineyards and orchards. It is able to gain individual insight into each one of all the trees we possess, taking care of all of them at once. This particular oak is not an ordinary tree. It used to be and has remained to be the symbol of strength, endurance and unity with nature.

Ever since such a symbol status was given to this noble tree, having attained a specific age, everything has simply become different. Somehow better. It has turned out to be even more mystical in all its transparency. Additionally, everything seems to be more connected by root veins penetrating deeply into the soil that feeds us, all the way across the terroir of Zirovnica and the whole region of Sumadija as well.

Its advanced age is reflected in each cut into the surface of the tree-trunk bark, in each deeply engraved furrow formed as a testimony of all those years spent while struggling with severe weather conditions.

Its presence has been perceived as a bridge between the past and present day. Therefore, the oak proudly rising here in our vineyard – has remained to be a silent witness of the centuries passing by, a witness of the transience of time and all those alterations taking place around its position for more than 250 years. Its vitality is what gives a special charm to our vineyards, symbolizing the qualities of stability and longevity in this constantly changing world of today.
