Derenda

About

Beti and Dare Derenda are relative newcomers to Kras. Forever smitten by Kras, in 1996 they bought an old house and a plot of land in Hruševica. The work on rebuilding the house and planting the vineyard was going on at the same time. With every stone set into the right place, with every vine planted into the soil their connection to Kras deepened. The home was built, the vines grew stronger. In 1999 the first vintage was ripe for picking. With a lot of help from their winegrowing friends they overcame many a barrier and soon they were able to present their first vintage - pure Teran. Today, they are already transferring their experience and knowledge to their daughter Nina and son Andrej. Both like to join Dare and Beti in vineyard work, in the wine cellar, and at wine presentation events.
