| | Uniqueness in the heart of Europe - 400-year Old Vine of Maribor |
 | | Cutting the grapes, crushing them with a wooden winepress, the weighing of grapes and establishing the sugar level are now all part of the grape harvest ritual, performed by men in traditional Slovenian garb, with humor, gusto and dedication to the merry strains of authentic village polka bands. | | | The yearly yield of the grape "modra kavcina", one of the oldest naturalized fine types of vine in Slovenia, during the last decade has been on the average 35 to 55kg, from which up to 100 bottles of wine are pressed. | | | The Old Vine began to spread again over the facade of the renovated house and the pergola, gaining in vigour and yielding the first bunches of grapes. |

| | Slovenia - Official Travel Guide \ Natural Attractions \ The Old Vine |
| | The produce of the Old Vine, which ranges between 35 and 55 kilograms, is quantity wise symbolic, just as the wine is. In the Vinag wine cellar the grapes are squeezed in a wooden press, then weighed and evaluated for sugar content. | | | Still in the first half of the 20th century some very old vines of the same sort, grew exuberantly on the frontages of Maribor town houses, the vines by the Water Tower in Lent and the city castle were very well known but of the majority there is no trace today. |

| | In a world where youth is celebrated and things old are too often ignored for their contributions, the designation "old vines" can be found on many a wine label as a good thing. | | | An old vine will still suck up plenty of water, minerals and flavors from the soil, but now it has fewer grapes to give all that good stuff to. | | | Likewise, some old vines produce grapes that seem to take too much from the soil and get really funky and difficult to drink. |
