Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
Coastal region of western Slovenia, the country's most qualitative, bordering Italy. Signature elegant whites and orange wines.

Native Refošk as dense, lively red (black cherry, iron).
