Klaudio Tomaz

Coming Up

Since 2009, the winemaking seat at Tomaz Winery has been the place where Klaudio Tomaz has shaped the estate’s identity. The work has leaned on steadiness rather than display, with Motovun, Central Istria, Croatia acting as more than a backdrop: it is the frame that gives the wines their line and logic. At a winery like this, character is built through accumulated decisions, not a single release, and the sense of coherence in Tomaz Winery comes from that kind of patient editing. The joke about starting “at minus 20” also points to the labor behind cellar work and vineyard work alike. It suggests someone who knows that improvement is earned, that the pace matters, and that useful results usually come from persistence rather than speed. Since 2009, Klaudio Tomaz has worked inside that rhythm, helping define both the wines and the expectations attached to them.

Where They Are Now

Klaudio Tomaz remains winemaker at Tomaz Winery in Motovun, Istria, Croatia. That continuity matters in a region where place is read closely and style is judged against it. The ongoing work is a sustained exchange between the site and the cellar, with the wines carrying that familiarity forward.
