The plant rises at the entrance to the <strong>House of the Old Vine<\/strong>, which today houses the <a href=\"https:\/\/oldestvinemuseum.si\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Museum of the World&#8217;s Oldest Vine (<em>Oldest Vine Museum<\/em>)<\/strong><\/a>. Officially entered in the <strong>Guinness Book of Records<\/strong> in 2004 and protected as one of Slovenia&#8217;s most precious natural assets, this specimen of the Modra kav\u010dina variety <strong>is over 450 years old<\/strong>, as evidenced by the earliest historical paintings dating to 1657.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-df59834b\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">A Profile of Extraordinary Resilience<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes this specimen extraordinary is not only its venerable age, but its remarkable capacity to survive the darkest and most dramatic periods of recent centuries.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plant has in fact survived devastating frosts and natural disasters, <strong>resisting major river floods, fierce fires, and even the phylloxera epidemic<\/strong> that brought Continental viticulture to its knees in the nineteenth century. Even world conflicts spared its trunk: during the <strong>bombings of the Second World War<\/strong>, though the adjacent building suffered severe collapse, the vine remained incredibly intact.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-3b333a68\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">A Centre of Excellence and Cultural Stewardship<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today the building is not only the support on which the historic vine&#8217;s shoots climb, but has become the nerve centre of Slovenian Styria&#8217;s food-and-wine culture. Managed by the <strong>Maribor Regional Museum<\/strong> (<em>Pokrajinski muzej Maribor<\/em>), the museum route offers a sensory and multimedia experience.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Animated projections, historical artefacts, and guided tastings allow visitors to <strong>understand how viticulture has shaped the city&#8217;s identity<\/strong> since the Middle Ages, set within a territory that also boasts one of Europe&#8217;s largest underground ageing cellars.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-84d520cf\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">A Rare Nectar for International Diplomacy<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plant still yields <strong>a very small but precious annual harvest, ranging between 35 and 55 kilograms of grapes<\/strong>. From this exceptional crop, barely a hundred two-decilitre bottles are produced, encased in exclusive collector&#8217;s bottles designed by artist and designer <strong>Oscar Kogoj<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This is a wine impossible to purchase through commercial channels<\/strong>. The municipality guards it jealously as a ceremonial gift for official visits and world leaders.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the decades, prestigious recipients of this symbolic gift of the city have included <strong>Popes such as John Paul II and Benedict XVI<\/strong>. Moreover, the vine&#8217;s genetic heritage lives on around the world: its cuttings and shoots have been donated and planted in 27 countries, spreading a global message of tradition and longevity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located at the Museum of the World&#8217;s Oldest Vine, in the Lent district, along the banks of the Drava River<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106130,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[82554,82271,82440],"tags":[91271,91268,91266,91258,91234,91256,91250,91255,91272,91252,91244,91270,91260,91265,91264,90388,91262,91259,91263,91269,91261,91254],"class_list":["post-106129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international-news-wine","category-wine-news","category-wine-tourism","tag-benedict-xvi","tag-collectors-bottles","tag-diplomatic-gift","tag-drava-river","tag-hisa-stare-trte","tag-house-of-the-old-vine","tag-john-paul-ii","tag-lent-district-maribor","tag-maribor-harvest","tag-old-vine-of-maribor","tag-oscar-kogoj","tag-papal-gift","tag-phylloxera-survival","tag-protocol-wine","tag-slovenian-viticulture","tag-stara-trta","tag-symbol-of-maribor","tag-vine-resilience","tag-viticultural-heritage","tag-wine-not-for-sale","tag-world-war-ii-bombings-maribor","tag-worlds-oldest-vine"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.6 (Yoast SEO v28.6) -
