In the picturesque Vipava Valley in the west of Slovenia, where the Mediterranean south and continental Europe come together in a thrilling fashion, you will find the cooperative winery Vipava, founded in 1894. 

The attention is focused upon vinifying the best possible wines that the region can yield: authentic of character, with a precise expression of their origins. 

There are approximately 350 grape growers in partnership with the owner Hannes Sabathi in this great enterprise. 

For generations, they cultivate the local grape taking care proudly for the unique cultural landscape of the valley; they support the vision and the plans of the Styrian winemaker with their deep background of experience and viticultural wisdom.

This evening I’m tasting: 

2021 Vipava 1894 Pinot Noir Lanthieri

A seductively intense ruby color, soft and mineral taste.
