The vines, over 30 years old, stand about five kilometres from the sea on limestone Karst with an iron-rich red terra rossa topsoil. The grapes are hand harvested and spontaneously fermented in open wooden casks. Depending on the vintage, they remain on the skins for 10 to 20 days; élevage and maturation take place over four to five years in 225- to 2,000-litre casks. Notes of plum, violet, leather, liquorice, mushrooms and spices are described, combined with mineral tension, salinity and ripe tannins. Source: Čotar, Indigo Wine.
