History

and tradition

The oldest record of the farm dates back to 1767, when the farmer Chiorgo built a manor house on the natural ridge between the Kožbanjšček and the Belska valleys. The villagers used to call him Čarga. His worthiest legacy is the knowledge and love of the land, which was handed down from father to son, but also to the young men who married into the Pristava manor. Each generation wanted to make a step forward, and in the 1990s Edbin and Dušan Erzetič took the decision of total transformation of the farm to viticulture and wine production and registered a trademark for their wines. Wanting to pay tribute to all of the generations of Pristava, they named it Čarga 1767.

The wheel of life turns quickly. Alojz’s sons, Edbin and Dušan, knew how to work from a young age. Together with their father, they created the farm we know today. Wine connoisseurs know that at Čarga, since the early nineties, only top-quality bottled wines have been produced.

philosophy

Production

For each grape variety, we strive to find the most suitable location, capture the right harvest time, and determine the winemaking process. We aim to express the terroir with slightly more mature and distinctly dry wines, whose character is carved by the minerals found in the rich Brda soil. Each harvest is unique, and each vintage has its own characteristics.
