TRADITION
Golijska suza is a homemade rakija distilled with special attention and passion for the art of distilling rakija.
By separating the stones from the fruit, it reduces the risk of substances from the stones getting into the brandy.
After preparing the fruits, ie. after muddling and mashing, the fruit pomace is inserted into the vessels for fermentation.
Distillation is the phase when all the richness of taste and aroma of previously fermented fruit is being transformed into brandy.
Brandy requires a certain aging in a barrel during which their aroma and taste develop and become more pronounced.
The slopes of Golija is where it all began.We built our home and, thus, setting the basics for our tradition that will last through generations.
Shortly, we planted our first plum tree rows whose fruits were nurtured by wind and Sun of Golija, giving them a unique quality and taste that will become the essence of our brandy.
During these years we started using barrels for preserving rakija. Since then, our barrels guard our brandy and became the symbol of persistency and commitment.
Over time, the distilling methods were carried forward from father to son. Thus, the methods became more and more improved through generations that continued to write new pages of our distillatory story with the same respect for the land and fruit.
In 90s, a desire for distilling rakija professionally, that matured over years, likewise brandy in barrel, and waited a suitable moment to be represented in full glory, was born.
Over time, we decided to breed something serious, thus creating a brand that will be a bridge between tradition and innovation.
Our first quality assurance was at local competition when Goljska suza won the silver medal.
We started the construction of our distillery, on the land where our story began, on the slopes of Golija in the village of Trnava.
Although we share memorable moments from our beginnings with our old packaging, we decided it was time for new appearance that will reflect our quality and spirit of our brand.
