The Primorska appellation, situated in the western region of Slovenia, is renowned for its distinctive and high-quality wines. Nestled between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, Primorska benefits from an ideal Mediterranean climate that significantly influences the local viticulture. This region is divided into four main sub-regions: Goriška Brda, the Vipava Valley, Slovenska Istra, and Kras. Each of them provides unique characteristics reflected in the wines produced.
The white wines, particularly those based on grape varieties such as Rebula and Malvazija, are distinguished by their freshness and delicate floral aromas. The reds are also noteworthy, with indigenous varieties such as Refošk and Teran, which produce wines with rich and complex flavours. The diversity of soils, ranging from red clay to limestone, also contributes to the complexity and diversity of Primorska wines.
This region, often compared to the finest Italian or French terroirs, is a hidden gem for wine enthusiasts in search of new discoveries. Primorska offers a unique sensory experience that delights both novices and seasoned connoisseurs.
