                              is focused on the conservation, identification, 
                              characterization and improvement in the breeding 
                              of autochthonous cultivars of grapevine. Clonal 
                              selection was launched for major cultivars such 
                              as Plavac Mali. We maintain an ex-situ collection 
                              of autochthonous cultivars. Quality control of wine 
                              and other grape products are listed in referent 
                              methods (OIV and EU) in accordance with the standards 
                              of HRN: EN ISO 17025:2005 in a certified Enology 
                              Laboratory. Utilising the most modern and efficient 
                              methods, research is conducted with the purpose 
                              of determining the quality of grapes, wine and spirits 
                              (from grape), in the winemaking process in an experimental 
                              winery, and the impact of technological processes 
                              on their individual ingredients. |
