The vineyards are sited on marly terraces, planted the on the southern slopes of the Vipava hills. Some of them are also found in the valley. The oldest productive vineyard is 30 years old. Several different grape varieties, such as zelen, rebula, malvasia, sauvignon, chardonnay, yellow muscat, rose, cabernet sauvignon and refosco red stalk, are planted in specific positions. The cultivation area of the different vine varieties is more or less equal. The Čebron family is extremely proud of their entire wine selection. To name only a few wines with unique qualities and flavors are Blanco (a blend of Malvasia and Chardonnay), the recipient of the Decanter medal, Cabernet Sauvignon, which has won several prestigious titles, and the Refosco red stalk, a rarity in the Vipava Valley.
Harvesting usually takes place during the week. The day begins with breakfast at 7 a.m. Work in the vineyard usually takes place from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by a delicious lunch on the terrace. Friends and relatives usually volunteer to help with the grape-picking. Many times accommodated guests also want to join the harvest.
Mashing takes place in the cold evening hours. This is followed by a short maceration, which takes place overnight in a closed press. The next morning the mash is compressed by adding inert gases and clarified with flotation. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled concrete tanks. The produced wine is then matured in concrete containers or in French wooden barrels. Red wines are usually aged for 2 years, whereas white varieties, with the exception of Cuvée Blanco, that has to be aged for two years, mature for 1 year.
Tastings take place by prior arrangement.
