In 2018, winemaker Martin Kovačević and his wife, vineyard manager Lucija Kovačević, took the reins of this historic estate. The young couple, who met while studying viticulture and oenology at the University of Zagreb, now work from a newly renovated, modern winery and farm 160 hectares of vines on the slopes of the Krndija mountain.
Previously known as ‘Feravino’, the winery was renamed ‘Enosophia’ in 2025. Combining the words ‘eno’, meaning wine, and ‘sophia’, wisdom, Martin and Lucija feel ‘Enosophia’ better reflects their vision of thoughtful winemaking rooted in knowledge, curiosity, and respect for their land. The DIKA range (translating to ’pride’ in Croatian) is sealed under screwcap to preserve freshness and celebrates varieties native to central Europe.
The winery’s history dates back to 1804, with their original cellar located in Feričanci, a village in the region of Slavonia, Eastern Croatia. Winemaking was first introduced to the region by Cistercian and Templar monks during the 13th century. It remains one of Croatia’s key wine regions today, though is perhaps best known as the source of the Slavonian oak widely used in winemaking across the world.
Slavonia is home to Croatia’s most important white grape Graševina (aka Welschriesling). This aromatic variety accounts for approximately a third of plantings in the region and produces textured wines with bright acidity and orchard fruit flavours.
