With respect for tradition and our native land, we create modern wines with a Vipava flavor. The marly terraces of the Vipava Hills are warmed by the sun and cooled by the Vipava bura wind, creating the best conditions for the growth of vines. Here, on the southern slopes of the Vipava Valley, indigenous varieties have always thrived, adapted to special growing conditions. That is why on the Štokelj family estate, which is located among the best wine-growing locations, we swear primarily by local varieties.
Štokelj – Malvazija.
Delicate golden yellow color. The flower is fine, clearly defined by the variety, after ripe juicy yellow fruits such as pear, we also find apples, peaches, grapefruit. Dry, moderate acidity, stronger body, aromatically slightly less pronounced than on the nose. Rich, good.
2021-2023
Food pairing: crabs, grilled fish, pasta.
Our price: 20.00 EUR
Štokelj – Planta Bela. The color is a gentle golden yellow. The flower is ripe, luxurious, with aromas of mass incense, hazelnuts, bread, hawthorn, almonds. In the mouth it is dry, compact, tasty, with an oily texture, complex and finely intertwined. An intense character that spreads delicately throughout the mouth and persists. Elegant and fine. A very good thing, perhaps March lacks persistence, which is a bit expected given the vintage, but Štokelj proves year after year that its white planta belongs to the very top of Slovenian white varieties. In excellent form. Our price: 22.00 EUR
Štokelj – Planta Rdeča. The wine is a deep ruby color with purple hues. The bouquet is intense, youthful, but serious. It smells of ripe black and red fruits, smoke, tobacco, blackcurrant, and also of new wood. In the mouth, the wine is dry, medium-bodied, with fairly high acids, which can be attributed to Barbera, it also brings a touch of robustness, but the tannins are ripe, soft, and the texture is pleasantly caressing. Very nicely made, although Barbera is still a bit untamed, but time will tell that it is a very good red variety.
2019–2024
Food pairing: game, lamb, steak. Our price: 22.00 EUR
No matter how you look at it, nothing good comes from nothing, and neither does good wine. For great wine, however, the winemaker must establish a special bond and love for this work. In our vineyards, we grow 65% white and 35% red grapes. We are most proud of Malvasia N°1, which was chosen by the Japanese Ambassador as the protocol wine of the Japanese embassy, and of Barbera, which was chosen in 2014 as the protocol wine of the municipality of Ajdovščina. In addition to white and red wines, we are also known for our top-quality, award-winning rosés from the Merlot variety. The range of white and red still wines is complemented by two sparkling wines, Rose and Malvasia.
San Martin Wines – Malvazija. The wine has a delicate lemon yellow color. The bouquet is quite youthful for a 2016 vintage, reminiscent of pears and apricots, and in the mouth there are still nice notes of smoke from the aging in wood. A dry wine with a medium body, higher acids, and plenty of freshness. The components may be a bit different from each other, but together they give a nice, aromatic Malvasia, where the aging in wood is well done. Our price: 14.00 EUR.
San Martin Wines – Rose. The wine is of medium-deep ruby color with onion shades. The floral notes are beautifully expressed, youthful, fruity. Raspberries, strawberries, grapefruit, even some dry spices could be found. The wine is dry in the mouth, the texture is a little oily, the character in the mouth is nicely varied and expressed, there is not much acidity, but enough to make the wine harmonious. A very nice, tasty rosé with a longer finish. One of the better ones from the 2021 vintage, alcohol content 12.5%. Our price: 13.00 EUR.
San Martin Wines – Rebula. A wine with many faces, it is a fresh, mineral and tasty wine with nice acidity. It has a fresh and fruity aroma. Straw yellow in color with greenish reflections. It goes well with Isonzo trout, duck, vegetable risottos. Our price: 18.00 EUR
San Martin Wines -Matura R. The wine is a deep ruby color with some purple hues. The floral notes are medium-strong, nicely ripe and varied. There are hints of coffee, cloves, black cherries, plums and more. In the mouth, the wine is dry, medium-bodied, with nicely smooth tannins, and above all with calm, tamed acids, which can always be a challenge with Barbera (60 percent). The wine is fully ripe, probably at its peak right now, but the charge is slowly fading, as the aftertaste is no longer long. Our price: 25.00 EUR

In the embrace of the sun and the Vipava bora wind, in addition to the mountain favorite Pinella, our vineyards also grow the special Zelen, Rebula and cosmopolitan Chardonnay and Sauvignon. Of the red varieties, Cabernet and Merlot. Wine accompanies human civilization at all its most important milestones.

The Zoria estate is located in the upper Vipava Valley, more precisely in the village of Podraga. The farm is a wine-growing and livestock-raising farm. The roots of the farm date back to 1813, as indicated by the year in the cellar. The vineyards lie on the slopes of the “Vipavski Brda” (Vipavski Brda) where extreme locations, the Vipava bora (Vipavski bora) wind and our hard work give their mark to the wines. In the vineyard and cellar, we respect the knowledge of our ancestors, which we upgrade with modern knowledge. By understanding the characteristics of our locations, soil and microclimate, we adapt the varieties and the method of processing. This way, we achieve that we get the most out of each variety and location.

Dora Erzelj Winery is a family estate of the Turk family. We have always grown only varieties that are typical of the Vipava Valley (Pinela, Malvasia, Rebula, Barbera). We cultivate 2 hectares of vineyards that grow on the steep slopes of Erzelj, on flysch soils.
White wines rest for half a year in stainless steel tanks, while we carry out the battonage process. The red wine Rdeči Rosel (a variety of Merlot and Barbera) is aged for one year in oak barrels. The wines we produce are fresh, light, and drinkable. Because we use spontaneous fermentation, our wines express our microclimate and terroir of our regions, which we find very important in wine.
Dora Erzelj – Pinela. The color is delicately lemony. The bouquet is medium-strong, fruity, smells of ripe apricots and peaches, a little bit of smoke and roasting. In the mouth, the wine is dry, light-bodied, with plenty of acidity. The aromatic profile spreads and diversifies nicely in the mouth. A very nice Pinella, probably the best wine from this house in the guide. Our price: 12.00 EUR

Multi-generational grape cultivation and production of top-quality wines using the most modern machinery and equipment and expert knowledge, taking into account all guidelines for the greatest possible protection of nature. The share of white wines produced is 60%, and red wines are 40%. White wines are produced using an “inert process”, with as little negative impact of oxidation on the must and the new wine itself as possible. All red wines are matured for a certain period of time in oak barrels and aged for several years before being released to the market. The main purpose is to produce wines with a primary, grape aroma, which is the most demanding process in wine production. Most of the wines are exported.
