Tonight I decided to stay in Brda. I’m moving just a bit below into Vipovže to taste Benedetič’s Merlot. A wine produced in stainless vats, but what a characterful wine with finesse! Bunches were hand-harvested from vines aged between ten…
We are heading back to Brda tonight to taste the queen of this prominent wine district. We’re at the Prinčič family from Kozana, and tonight we’ll have a look at their expression of Rebula produced in stainless steel vats. It’s…
