Boutique Winery Fragaria
The award-winning Fragaria winery is located in Župa, Aleksandrovac, Serbia. Boutique Winery Fragaria is a family-run estate renowned for the quality of all its wines. The winery's name derives from the Latin name for "Jagoda" (strawberry) – a forgotten local grape variety that Fragaria revived, and for which it is now the world's largest producer. In addition to Jagoda, the Fragaria vineyards also cultivate Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. The winery owns 3 hectares of vineyards, leases 4 hectares, and maintains an additional 2 hectares of forest to protect the ecological balance and biodiversity.
The Fragaria vineyards are located in the Lukarevina region, Aleksandrovac, and have been family-owned for over 200 years. In 2014, Dr. Sci. Slobodan Vujić, together with his wife Dr. Saša Vujić and daughters Marina and Anja, modernized the family vineyards and established a modern boutique winery. Aleksandrovac (also known as "Župa Aleksandrovačka" or simply "Župa") is a Serbian wine region with a centuries-old winemaking tradition, whose history is said to date back to Roman times over 3000 years ago.
Throughout the year, the family dedicates themselves to the intensive care of their own vineyards and leased land. Their motto is: "What is created in the vineyard cannot be repaired later." The crucial moment in winemaking is the harvest, as this is when aromas and flavors reach their peak. A ripe grape reveals the true essence of the wine. Boutique Winery Fragaria places the utmost importance on quality, which is why only the finest grapes are used for Fragaria wines. The wines are completely natural – without any artificial flavorings.
Fragaria wines are high-quality wines produced in limited series. They have won awards at prestigious international competitions, including Decanter in London, AWC Vienna in Austria, Emozioni dal Mondo in Italy, Open Balkan Wine Trophy , and many more.
