Matic Wines

Matija Žerjav, known simply as Matic is a young, motivated, and thoughtful winemaker working with holistic methods across his 8 hectares of vines in the Štajerska of north eastern Slovenia.

Using SO2 only when needed and with sparce amounts if so, these affordable and good quality wines have a good energy and presence to them at the right pricepoint. Using mainly stainless steel to preserve freshness, but also known to utilise underground Qvevri amphora, Matic has also been a strong proponent of the grape Šipon (the local name for the grape Furmint) and believed he could create a fantastic sparkling with it, so created his Mea as his first commercial wine. This vintage of Mea is his best yet, with the bubbles firm but not explosive as some pet nats can be.

Who Is Matic?

Matic is Matija Žerjav, a young winemaker from Malečnik, near Maribor in Štajerska, the Styrian wine region of north-eastern Slovenia.

He is the third generation of his family to work these vines and took over from his grandfather when he was 24. Today he farms around eight hectares holistically.

Matic's wines are some of the best value natural wines we know: affordable, full of energy and very easy to drink, with labels that are as much fun as what is inside.

Popular Matic Wines

Matic is a big believer in Šipon, the local name for Furmint. His first commercial wine was Mea, a Šipon pet nat, and there is also a Mea Rosé pet nat from Blaufränkisch, known locally as Frankovka.

Amfora Šipon and The Prince are skin-contact Šipon, Frankovka is his juicy red, and Yellow Muscat is bright and aromatic. Other cuvées include Ya Yeh, from Sauvignon Blanc, and Get the Party Started.

How Matic Wines Are Made

The vines grow on lapor, the local marl and clay soil of Štajerska, and are not irrigated. Alongside Šipon and Blaufränkisch, Matic grows Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Yellow Muscat and Kerner.

Most wines are made in stainless steel to keep them fresh, while the skin-contact wines often go into qvevri, clay vessels buried in the ground.

Sulphur is used only when Matic thinks a wine needs it, and then only in small amounts. The pet nats are bottled under crown cap.
