Birin winery

about us

Although it has only recently appeared on the market, the Birin winery has a long history. For generations has the land in our family been farmed with Mediterranean cultures such as olives, figs, wine and cherry. However, what we continuously do and where we feel most comfortable is wine and olive growing. For years and years, the quality material has been coming from the area mostly farmed and that is the vine area. Today we have 6 etiquettes in the production and the total amount of the production is 20 thousand liters per year which makes about 25 000 bottles.

vineyards

We plant autochthonous sorts from this region in our vineyards: Debit and Maraština from the white sorts and Plavina, Lasin and Babić from the red sorts. The Birin winery has in its possession 2 ha of vineyard from which 1.2 ha are young plantations and the rest are somewhat older vineyards. All our vineyards are situated on red soil with a small percentage of stone. Because of the mentioned terrain our wines have a different personality from the vineyards which are grown on white soil or only in the stones.

cellar

The Birin wines are processed, vinified, schooled and aged in a 160 m2 big wine cellar situated in the ground. The cellar is equipped with necessary tools and machines which make sure that all our wines (grapes) with our acquired experience and knowledge get the best possible treatment in processing and in aging. This gives us hope that it will satisfy the taste buds of many wine enthusiasts and all who want to enjoy the fruits of our labor.

Debit is a flowy wine of straw-yellow color, medium body and intensity. The smell is floral and herbal with medium fruitiness in the mouth and mineral with a certain amount of salinity. Sometimes mildly bitter toward the end, not intrusive and yet attractive.

One of the best small private wineries in the Sibenik area!!! I accidentally tried the Birin rose wine at the hotel where I was staying.. so I was lucky enough to go directly to the winery for a tasting on Friday evening! The young winemaker delighted me with the presentation of his wines and the order!!! I liked the Rose the most.. and Marastina.. while the other wines are not inferior in quality.. Babic.. Debit… and a very tasty sparkling wine! And of course, let's not forget the homemade cold cuts, homemade bread and olive oil!!! I would recommend this winery to anyone who has the opportunity to visit Vodice.. because they will definitely find what they want! I wish the young winemaker and his team a successful season in producing great wines!!! Warm greetings from Munich!!!

We were again at winery Birin and this year was even better- tasting house is in “ industrial zone “ but nevertheless beautifully arranged, and worth visiting. Beside vines must try is their olive oil that was rewarded in New York - top quality and taste

We visited Vinarija Birin while on a holiday to Croatia and it was a lovely experience!

We did both a wine tasting and a winery tour. The owner explicitly told us about their different wines and how they create/make it.

The owner is such a passionate and sympathetic man. He describes his wine-making process passionately and uses lots of details. It’s very nice to listen to his stories and hear about Birin’s wine making process.

Definitely recommended if you like drinking and learning about good wine!
