Mačak Family

Once upon a time in the eighteen hundreds as our ancestor, Master Mitar Jojic, would after a day of hard labor in the field, sit and sip wine from the grapes in his own vineyards – Seleush and Grabovac – on the top of Fruska Gora Mountain, little could he imagine what a family wine saga thenceforth would ensue …

The years would flow just like smooth wine glides through the bottleneck. Many tons of grapes were hand-picked; many wooden barrels filled up and emptied. New generations came along and chose their differing life paths. Master Mitar’s son Djoka emanated into a wealthy landowner, to include huge estates as far as Moldova. The son Joca, charming vagabond, attended to his career of a professional gambler along the Italian coast. The prettiest postcards from Genoa and Fiume were delivered to his family, whenever would he emerge the least best at the games. Finally, the third son Todor, a wise and farsighted man, married Persida Cekic, with a sizeable dowry – the Memijevo vineyard; the precise venue where the Portuguiser grape variety is grown today.

Meet Sava Jojić, great great grandson of Mitar, a wine making wizard, whose cumulated knowledge of winemaking has paved the way for today’s generation …

And so every generation of Jojić left their mark – some diligently added and worked. Some were taken away as a dowry or lost on the card…but the gene for wine was passed down to this day. The current generation skilfully uses the valuable heritage of their ancestors on cultivating vineyards and making wine. In combination with modern world knowledge in oenology, we produce wines that carry the peculiarities of the Fruško Gora climate and all the symbolism of family biographies woven into the overflowing wine sips. For your joy and enjoyment!
