The Dvery-Pax  Winery is located in northeastern Slovenia in the Drava Valley ( Podravje ), in the Slovenian Styria ( Stajerska Slovenija ), and they continue the more than 800 – year- old winemaking tradition of the Admont Benedictine Monks – with great appreciation for nature and a keen sense for trends. 

The winery has 73 hectares of vineyards located in the regions of Maribor, Jeruzalem, Radgona and Kapela. 

Noble Rudolf Wittenswald bequeathed the Jahringhof Estate for the Church between 1130 and 1135 – out of gratitude. The Salzburg Bishop Konrad I awarded the entire property to the Styran Benedectine monastery of Admont.

The estate has grown over the centuries through acquisitions and donations . The Benedectine cultivated wine on all the lands , which was brought to Austria by carts from Admont’s subordinate farmers. Written sources prove that the monastery vineyards were cultivated in an exemplary manner and the wine was expertly pressed. The monks gave the administrators written instructions on how the subordinate farmers or tenants should work the vineyard.

The first cut and chopping must be carried and in his presence , with special care and patients.

These two things should not be done too late , as doing so could cause serious damage to the crops, nor should the vines be tied to early or in wet weather.
