The viticultural story of the Šturm family begins in 1968, when Otmar Šturm Sr. planted the first vines in the vineyard below Sveta Ana. In 1992, the reins were taken over by his son Otmar junior, who in 1999 built a modern cellar. The Sturms have been pushing the boundaries since the beginning. In addition to the rules, they planted varieties that - thanks to them - became a pillar of today's Bela Krajina viticulture. Yellow Muscat, which until recently was not even on the list of permitted varieties of the district, has become a recommended variety after their success, and fragrant Traminer is currently among the permitted. The next step is to challenge fate, i.e. weather conditions and regulations, with Cabernet Sauvignon, although they are aware that the weather conditions have not changed so much that the Bordeaux cane varieties in Bela krajina could give convincing red wines. This place belongs to the Blaufränkisch. They now cultivate eight hectares of their own and rented vineyards, but they talk about the number of vines rather than the area - they have 30.000. Fresh wines from younger vineyards come to the market with a white label, wines from older vineyards and from the best locations that mature in wood are marked by blue, and the third line consists of predicate wines with works of art on the label. As great advocates of tradition, they are no strangers to white wines with extended maceration - a black label, and a wide range of wines is rounded off by the classic Ana sparkling wine.
