Today the Ferdinand wine house is led by Matjaž Četrtič, an agronomist who wanted to become a wine-maker from an early age. He brought a family wine growing tradition back to life from the times when his great grandfather was making wine very successfully. Matjaž was still a teenager at Agricultural School when he took over the cultivation of the biggest plot in 1992. His vision was to build a wine cellar and to produce exclusive high quality wines from this wonderful Brda region and especially the indigenous Rebula variety. His father Marjan trusted his son, providing great support, himself fully committing to wine-growing.

 In 1997 the first bottles of wine were ready for the market. Along with his work on the vineyards, Matjaž studied at the Bio-technical faculty in Ljubljana, graduating in 1996 with his thesis Optimum load of Rebula. He also studied wine management in Trieste, Italy and became a Master of wine business in 2007. With Robert Prinčič, a study mate from his time at Trieste and Brda neighbor, Matjaž has also created a joint venture project called Sinefinis. For Matjaž - Rebula Wine and the huge development potential for the Brda region rebula has always been his favourite subject. The wines are superb in style & technique and have a very personal, unique note as well, reflecting our love for nature and our passion for wines and winemaking. They are simply special.
