Winery MI is located on the hills above Rogoznica. The first location is Winery MI Igor placed in “Sirkovina”, and the other Winery MI Maja is on location “Mahala 15 – Rogoznica”.
Ouer vineyards are placed on both locations and jointly we have over 5000 plants.
Babić grapes typically reach technological maturity by the end of September , but the climate changes are pushing this instance towards the beginning of September.
Grapes are picked up very carefully and placed in the trays so that the grapes don’t squish each other and thus avoid the start of the fermentation during the transport from the vineyards to the winery.
The grapes are immediately processed in the machine that separates the grapes from the petiols and resulting grape juice and grapes are transfered to 1000 l containers where the maceration and fermentation takes place. This process is conducted at the controlled low temperature to avoid the violent fermentation.
At certain point in time, the juice is transferred to stainless steel barrels where it continues the fermentation.
When the fermentation ends, the wine is moved to french oak used barique barrels, where it ages until we find all the characteristics of the wine satisfactory. It is then moved to one big stainless steel barel and ages until the bottling operation.
Bottled wine continues to age in air conditioned bottle storage facility.
