Most wine regions brag about their sun and soil. In Slovenia’s Vipava Valley, it’s the wind that does the talking.
The Bora, a cold, powerful wind that races through these valleys, stresses the vines, reduces yields, and creates concentration in the grapes.
It’s why producers like Ferjančič and Lavrenčič craft Malvasia and reds with piercing acidity, herbal edges, and minerality that stays with you. These wines aren’t lush or easy. They’re precise, textural, and unmistakably tied to this corner of the world.
