On the picturesque hills above Lo\u010de and \u017di\u010de, where the winemaking tradition intertwines with the history of the \u017di\u010de Charterhouse, one of the more compelling modern wine stories in Slovenia is taking shape. Meum Winery, led by the Brumec family, continues a legacy first established in this area by Carthusian monks in the 12th century. Today, Meum is synonymous with boutique production, distinctive terroir, and wines that combine elegance, freshness, and a contemporary winemaking approach.<\/strong><\/p>

A wine story with roots in the 12th century<\/strong><\/h2>

What makes Meum particularly special is its strong connection to the history of the place. When French Carthusian monks from Grenoble founded the \u017di\u010de Charterhouse, they planted the first vines on the surrounding hills, laying the foundations of a winegrowing tradition that the Brumec family is now bringing back to life. The name Meum<\/em> comes from the Latin phrase et vinum meum<\/em>, meaning \u201cmy wine,\u201d beautifully reflecting the personal relationship with wine, the land, and the work behind it.<\/p>

Under the leadership of Jurij Brumec<\/strong>, the winery cultivates around six hectares of vineyards and produces approximately 20,000 bottles annually. Its philosophy is clearly boutique: smaller quantities, greater attention to detail, and a strong focus on quality.<\/p>
