Appellation Vipava Valley

The Primorska appellation, located in the west of Slovenia, is one of the country's four main wine regions. It is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, rolling hills, and Mediterranean climate, which provide ideal conditions for viticulture. The region is subdivided into several wine-growing sub-regions, the most famous of which is perhaps Goriška Brda, often compared to Tuscany for its beauty and the quality of its wines. Primorska is known for its robust red wines, but it also produces excellent white wines. Indigenous grape varieties such as Refošk, Malvazija, and Rebula thrive here, adding a unique local dimension to its offerings. The region benefits from maritime influences as well as alpine winds, resulting in complex and well-balanced wines. The vineyards in Primorska are often cultivated on terraces, taking advantage of the rich and varied soil, ranging from limestone to marl. For wine enthusiasts and cellar managers seeking diversity and discovery, the wines of Primorska offer a captivating and authentic sensory experience that reflects the cultural richness of Slovenia.
