Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Primorska"

One of the three wine-growing regions in Slovenia in the west of the country on the border with Italy. The name means "by the sea", although only a relatively small part lies on the Adriatic coast. The climate is characterised by a hot summer and an autumn with often heavy thunderstorms. Viticulture is also influenced by the cold north wind Bora. The vineyards cover a total of 8,081 hectares of vines. The region is divided into the four wine-growing areas of Gorika Brda (Gorizia Hills) with 1,992 hectares, Kras (Karst) with 753 hectares, Slovenska Istra (Slovenian Istria) with 2,331 hectares and Vipavska Dolina (Wippach Valley) with 3,005 hectares of vineyards. These form an extension of the two Italian wine-growing regions of Carso and Collio Goriziano in Friuli, which incidentally have very similar geological and climatic conditions.
