Lagena Winary

On the eastern slopes of Moslavina, vineyards of Lagena winery are located on the border with Slavonia, above the Ilova River. Here are one of the best positions for growing vines in the Moslavina region. The first vineyards in that position were planted in the middle of the 19th century. Today's vineyards are cultivated by the fifth generation of wine growers and winemakers from the Đozo family, who planted their first vineyards in 1992. They are located at 255 meters above sea level and are exclusively south orientation. The total area of vineyards is 6 hectares, and the dominant indigenous variety of Moslavina - škrlet, is also known locally as a yellow ram. Along with škrlet , also are grown graševina, pinot blanc and cabernet sauvignon.
The name of the winery comes from the Latin name for the bottle (lagena). Lagena is a small belly wine jug with a narrow and long neck and a handle on the side. It was used as a container for serving and transporting wine as early as the 4th century BC in ancient Greece, and this tradition was continued by the Romans. Lagena were once hung on a forged wedge on the wall in front of the basement, and this was a distinctive sign that wine was being sold there. The shape is reminiscent of today's decanter, so we believe it's a forerunner to the decanter.
