Wines
Knebu wines are produced with a lot of love and hands-on work. This carefully crafted selection of wines will impress every wine lover. We create our wines using the Sur Lie method, a process in which the wine is in constant contact with lees, and all our wines age in high-quality 500 and 225 liter French and Slavonian oak barrels. Discover why wines produced at high altitudes are so appreciated and what makes them different.

This is a stylistically unique rosé reminiscent of the finest French Tavel rosé wines.”- Darko Lugarić, sommelier
