The wine region of Primorje
Coastal region of western Slovenia, the country's most qualitative, bordering Italy. Signature elegant whites and orange wines. Star Rebula (Ribolla Gialla) with signature notes of pear, citrus, white flowers, fresh almond and a mineral touch, taut and long palate — often in long maceration (orange) with dried fruits and black tea notes. Native Refošk as dense, lively red (black cherry, iron).
The word of the wine: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
