Trapan Winery · Šišan, Istria
Come taste
our piece of Istria.
Biodynamic wines in rhythm with the earth. We open the doors of our cellar, terrace, and a bottle waiting for you.
Wine that tells the story of Istria.
“Winemaking is not a job — it's a way of life in harmony with nature's cycles.”
Welcome to Trapan Winery — where wine tells the story of Istria. Our vineyard lies very close by, surrounded by untouched forest, and we craft our wines following biodynamic principles, in tune with the rhythm of the earth and the seasons.
Every bottle carries the authentic character of our terroir, with minimal intervention and maximum respect for nature.
Elegance born from the soil.
Our wines retain elegance and refinement, even though they are made exclusively in accordance with biodynamic cycles and principles.
This is what sets us apart from other biodynamic producers — we create wines that, alongside nature's authenticity, deliver balance, purity, and the recognisable character of Trapan Winery.

Our wines
From fresh Malvazija to powerful blends — each wine bears the mark of a biodynamic vineyard.
BIK
Teran Pjenušac Rosé
Elegant rosé sparkler from Teran with lively pink colour and fine perlage. Raspberry, wild strawberry and red berry aromas dominate, with the freshness and minerality characteristic of southern Istria. Ideal for aperitif, summer gatherings and light fish and seafood dishes.
Ponente Unleashed
Malvazija
A fresh, modern interpretation of Istrian Malvasia. Scents of citrus, white flowers and Mediterranean herbs merge with pronounced minerality. Named after the western wind that shapes the vineyards of southern Istria, this wine captivates with drinkability, freshness and elegance.
Uroboros Sur Lie
Malvazija
Aged Malvasia produced by the sur lie method, with ageing that gives the wine additional complexity and creaminess. Rich aromas of ripe fruit, honey, spices and subtle wood notes accompany a full body and long finish. A wine of exceptional structure and ageing potential.
Istraditional
Macerirana Malvazija
Macerated ('orange') Malvasia that bridges tradition and modern winemaking. Complex aromatic profile with notes of dried fruit, tea, spices and Mediterranean herbs. Full-bodied, with pronounced textures and a long, mineral finish.
21 White
Malvazija
A modern, young and vibrant Malvasia with pronounced freshness. Fruity aromas of citrus, green apple and white flowers accompany a light to medium-full body and a refreshing finish. Created for enjoyment in relaxed moments and gastronomic pairings with fish and seafood.
Rubi Rosé
Rosé
A rosé dedicated to Trapan's daughter Rubi, made from Teran with additions of Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Scents of raspberry, grapefruit, violet and red fruit are complemented by pronounced freshness and minerality. An extremely gastronomic rosé that successfully accompanies a wide range of dishes.
MPV
Rosé
An attractive and modern rosé full of aromas of wild strawberry, watermelon and delicate floral notes. On the palate fresh, fruity and lively, with a clean mineral finish that invites another sip. The perfect choice for summer days and informal gatherings.
Luka Luna
Merlot
A Merlot of rich fruity character with aromas of ripe plum, cherry and dark berry fruit. Soft tannins and a rounded structure provide pleasant drinkability, while the Mediterranean character of the vineyard brings additional warmth and elegance.
Terra Mare
Teran
100% Teran dedicated to the younger daughter Mare. Recognisable by its freshness, lively acidity and pronounced fruitiness, but in a more modern, elegant style than classic Terans. Cherry, forest fruit and spice aromas accompany minerality and a long finish.
Irena's Cab
Cabernet Sauvignon
A Cabernet Sauvignon of intense ruby colour with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and spicy notes. Full-bodied, firm in structure and with ripe tannins, it offers a serious character while retaining elegance and drinkability.
Double Trouble
Cabernet Sauvignon / Teran Cuvée
A dynamic union of an international variety and indigenous Istrian Teran. Cabernet brings depth, structure and dark fruit, while Teran contributes freshness, liveliness and recognisable minerality. A modern cuvée of distinct character.
The One
Syrah / Teran Cuvée
A charismatic cuvée that reflects the winemaker's personality. Syrah brings piquancy, pepper and dark fruit, while Teran ensures freshness and energy. Complex, powerful and elegant wine with long ageing potential.
MOIA
Syrah
A varietal Syrah of pronounced Mediterranean character. Blackberry, blueberry, black pepper and Mediterranean spice herb aromas dominate. Full-bodied, with soft tannins and a long, warm finish — an ideal partner for meat dishes and mature cheeses.
A gastro offering that
wins over every palate.
Every bottle opens a story of flavour. Our gastronomic offering brings together the freshness of the sea, the scents of the Istrian garden and the warmth of homemade bread — bites perfectly paired with Trapan's biodynamic wines.
Every bite. Every sip. All of Istria.
