Story
PZ Vrbnik was founded on 6 March 1904 and built its main cellar in 1932. Today the cooperative aggregates the harvests of 125 member families and 15 sub-contractors - about 150 households - and processes more than one million kilograms of grapes per year, bottling around 600,000–700,000 bottles. Its signature Valomet sparkling wine is the world's only Žlahtina pjenušac matured in stainless-steel cages 30 metres below the Adriatic. The cooperative has earned Decanter, Vinistra, IWC and Concours Mondial de Bruxelles medals over multiple vintages.
