Appealing soft fruit aromas, in a style that is somewhere between light and medium weight, the wine offers refreshment. You get a peek into what’s happening in Slovenia. Good deal. Good wine comes from Slovenia. This small country is between southeastern Austria and northeastern Italy, places curious drinkers know as consistent sources of good wine. Primorska is the western slice of Slovenia. It is the nation’s most prosperous area, a bilingual region with flourishing viticulture and maritime commerce. Primorska has historical links to Italy: it was conquered and annexed by the Italians in 1918, then split between Italy and Yugoslavia after World War II. Sharing some characteristics with the best from Friuli and Venezia Giulia but also marked with a style that is distinctly Slovenian. Wines here tend to be riper, textural, made with larger barrels, and more exposure to natural yeast and oxygen. These characteristics have come to symbolize the growing Slovenian wine industry.
The Estate is right on the border between two worlds. Use of no herbicides in 10 hectares of vines. The wines are all fermented in French barrel, and show a ripeness both formed by proper farming and cellar technique, and by the estate’s proximity to the sea.
