Geržinić

Central & Eastern Istria


This award-winning winery in the hamlet of Ohnići, 14km northeast of Poreč, has been in the same family for a century. It cultivates 10 hectares of vineyards producing a range of varieties (chardonnay, teran, syrah and a particularly good malvazija, yellow muscat and cabernet sauvignon), along with rakija (grappa) and an olive oil rated among the top 100 in the world. It's a great place to stop for a tasting, though you're best to call ahead.
