One of the three wine-growing regions in Slovenia in the east of the country on the borders with Austria(South Styria) and Hungary. The name means "Drauland". The region lies between the rivers Mura (Mur) and Drava (Drau) with the wine-growing centre of Maribor (Marburg). This town is home to a vine that is said to be 400 years old (see Žametovka). One of the most important Slovenian wine routes also begins in the old town centre. Podravje lies in the north-east of the country and borders the Posavje wine-growing region to the south. The third wine-growing region is Primorska in the west of the country on the border with Italy and on the coast of the Adriatic Sea.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
