Sunnyslopes,
Vipava terroir.
Our vineyards grow on sunny Vipava slopes, where Mediterranean influences, the bora wind and fertile marl soils create ideal conditions for quality grapes.

A year in the vineyard
Four chapters, one vine.
Spring
Bud break
The vine wakes in March. The first buds and carefully directed pruning.
Summer
Flowering
June sunshine turns flowers into berries. Green canopy work.
Autumn
Harvest
In August and September, we harvest by hand into small crates.
Winter
Rest
The vine sleeps. Wine ages in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels.
“The sun sets five minutes later than in the valley. That time belongs to the wine.”
