Karst, stone, sun, olive, and grapevine have been creating for ages a unity that defies time, testimony of which can be found on the tombstones (stečći) drawings in Radimlja near Stolac (15th century) decorated with grapes images.

From its foundation in 1948 to the present, wines from this winery have obtained highest grades and complimentary acknowledgements. They have won prestigious awards in Paris, Zagreb, Belgrade, Novi Sad, Split, Mostar, etc. In the recently held international evaluation of wines in Split, where over 220 white wines were presented, Žilavka – Stolac cellars won a gold diploma, thus proving the great potential of the Žilavka variety as a variety for high quality and best world wines.

The winery Stolac cellars belongs to the family and disposes of its own plantations on a 130 hectares area. Every year 15 hectares of autochthonous varieties Žilavka and Blatina are planted, and the production is done according to the newest European standards and technologies. The gold – greenish colour of Žilavka is a blend of amber and diamonds, it’s the liquid gold of the soil, it speaks clear, without afterthought or hidden intention.
