Le domaine

As even our ancestors were vine-growers, we have decided to introduce ourselves and our wines to the world under a brand name that represents our family coat of arms. Originating from the Vosges region in France, the coat of arms dates as far back as the 14th century and has chivalric roots. It was bestowed upon our ancestors in honour of their righteousness and freedoms, and also became the symbol of our family for the same reason. In the period between the last crusades and the demise of the chivalric orders, our ancestors came to Slovenian soil, where they also settled down. My grandfather Franc Šuman dedicated all his life cultivating the vineyards, after that my father Jože Šuman, also me and my wife Simona we followed theirs footsteps and their love upgradet into unconditional love for nature. Me and my wife we are working and living on Šuman domain for 21 years, together with 3 childrens; Tit, Iva and Vitan.
Continuing our Family crest Motto and Tradition since 14.th Century, today we have added love, sensitivity and respect for Nature. In all aspects of growing vine through to bottling wine we use exclusively only natural products, we rely on the Nature’s own power and energy to contribute and honour all Life. That includes all invisible life, that is crucial in the making of wine. Relying only on  pure and natural processes, that existed long before we did, is what makes our wines full of vitality, something that is expressed in its fuller body,stronger charater, rich bouquet and warm colour. Almost all grapes are macerated, the way to get most of it. All wine are aged in wooden casks, and fermented naturally, without adding sulfites or any microorganisms, they are unfiltered.

Les vignes

Our biodynamic vineyards are positioned on the north-east part of Slovenia, in the middle of SREDNJE SLOVENSKE GORICE. The texture of soil and good sites are very important for all products of nature. Geographical they are very agitating and hilly. In this area meets Pannonian and Mediterranean climate, both under the influence of Alpin climate. Woods brooks spreads all over the our country, gives to our wines their freshness, richness and variety. The flour are also very variety; from loamy to very lightly sandstone ones, that is why we possessed different kind and very rich wines. We have 8 different varieties of vines: Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Traminer, Muskat Yellow, Riesling, Rheinriesling and Pinot Noire. Our wines are bread in prominent ridge and south sides, what is principal meaning for producing high quality natural wines. Our vineyards are closed ecosystems, living space for our sheeps, poultry and bees, also all other visitors are welcome  to  roam free , even the birds are given sanctuary-given that they feed on the pests, they too are a part of well functioning habitat. And the vines are not only plants, but they are growing together with a lot of fruit, forest trees and herbs, which gives food and shelter to the animals, for us the preparates for farming. We trust the Nature to know the right way, but we listen to her needs, and help her along. Our vineyards are full of life, and so is our grapes-the essence of which is retained in our wines.
