Estate Svetlik is a challenge for us.
Posestvo Svetlik nama je izziv - spoprijeti se z neokrnjeno naravo, burjo in vzgojo trt rebule.
To nama je v veliko veselje in zadovoljstvo.
Delati v vinogradu nama pomeni občutiti naravo v vsem njenem bogastvu. Občutiti zimsko spokojnost, pomladno brstenje, poletni razcvet in ob trgatvi jesensko dozorelost. Vinograd ima svoj čar in moč. To občuti tudi vnukinja Maruša, ki med trtami vedno poje.
Vinograd obdelujemo prijazno do narave, mulčimo in ročno kosimo okrog trt, ne uporabljamo herbicidov in insekticidov, skrbimo za naravno sožitje in uživamo lahko ob petju ptic in pogledu na grmičke materine dušice med trsi.
Trgatev je praznik. Tudi zato, ker se nama pridružijo prijatelji z družinami in pomagajo ročno potrgati in razpecljati zrelo grozdje.
Beneath Čaven, high up there, I live … We decided to build a house and grow the vines in the place, where the sky doesn’t end, where the sun keeps shining. On a high, sunny slope of Čaven, above the village Kamnje, called Grace, we planted a vineyard of Rebula, our favourite domestic sort. And here among our vineyards, we are writing a new story of our lives and slowing down from a daily routine. We are pursuing to craft little, but excellent wine, with just one bottle from each vine. To work in the vineyard is feeling the nature in all its richness. To feel the winter calmness, the spring blossom, the summer bloom and with the harvest, autumn maturity. The vineyard possesses its own magic and its own strength. This feels also our granddaughter Maruša, always singing amongst the vines. Our vineyard is grown in a nature-friendly way and the grass around the vines is mulched and scythed manually. We use no herbicides or insecticides and we take great care of a natural symbiosis. And we enjoy listening to the birds singing and the views of the thyme bushes nestled among the vines. Harvest is a holiday. It is a holiday also because our friends and their families come and join us and help us harvest the ripe grapes and remove the stems by hand.
