The vines grow in the western Kras on poor, stony Karst soil with red earth, around five kilometres from the sea. Alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously, without selected yeasts, in underground wooden vessels ranging from 200 to 2.000 litres. Red wines mature for four to five years in used, wine-seasoned oak barrels. The wine is bottled unfiltered. Described aromas include ripe red berries, plum, herbs and meaty notes, combined with a juicy structure, pronounced yet soft acidity and restrained tannins.
