A Winery Rooted in Centuries of History
The hills where Bolfan Winery thrives today were already a center of viticulture in Roman times. Archaeological findings and historical records show that this location was praised thousands of years ago for its ideal climate and fertile, mineral-rich soils. Over the centuries, the area was managed by various landowners, farmers, and winemakers, each leaving their mark on the region’s legacy—an influence still evident in today’s wines.

Terroir: The Secret Behind Quality
The terroir of Bolfan is one of the winery’s greatest assets. The vineyards are situated at elevations between 250 and 380 meters, on slopes ranging from 16 to 30 percent, with an ideal south- to southeast-facing exposure to the sun. This location ensures optimal grape ripening, a natural acid balance, and intense aromatic development.
The soil is a unique combination of marl, marl-limestone, loess, and sandy loam. This substrate is rich in minerals and has a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Thanks to this specific soil composition, Bolfan wines gain a distinctive minerality, subtle complexity, and a refreshing style typical of wines from Hrvatsko Zagorje.
The Philosophy: Pure Nature in Every Bottle
At Bolfan Winery, one belief stands at the center: great wine is made in the vineyard. Therefore, the vines are treated with utmost care, attention, and respect. The winery operates fully ecologically and sustainably, without chemical agents, fertilizers, or synthetic additives. The soil remains alive and healthy, naturally nourishing the vines.
Bolfan’s philosophy is based on pure, natural viticulture. This means no artificial pesticides, the use of natural compost from free-ranging animals, preserving soil microorganisms, and minimal intervention in the cellar. As a result, terroir-driven wines emerge that are pure, expressive, and authentic.
The outcome is a range of wines with bright aromas, a clean structure, refined minerality, and unique elegance—exactly as nature intended.
