If I have to pick my favourite winery, it would definitely be Aleksandrovic due to their superb wines, but Despotika is placed in extraordinary landscape (and wines are definitely to look forward to). As for King's winery, it has to be seen from history perspective - it is a beautiful, beautiful winery, but right now doesn't have too much in wine offerings.”
