Rounded out the day’s winery visits at Kmetija Stekar. As the western part of the country didn’t seem to allow for internet connection, driving was that much more challenging. As a result of limited online map support plus previous longer visits than expected, Tamara Stekar did not have much time so shame on us. Stekar started bottling around 1992 and grows on 6 hectares. They produce 25,000 bottles a year. 80% white and 20% red. What we tasted: Belo 2018 (white blend) Re Piko 2015 Pinot Draga 2013 Note to self, don’t try to squeeze in a day four winery visits in a foreign country especially when you’re driving without internet/cell phone support. #goriskabrda #wine #slovenianwine #naturalwine #slovenia #kmetijastekar (at Kmetija Štekar) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzp5ZxUo5wc/?igshid=1cb9c0v457hgb
To be honest I was a bit overextended after Oton’s tasting. Up next was @edisimcic_wines in the Goriska Brda. Thank goodness they served bread sticks and delicious cheese made of cows’ milk aged one year. A 3rd generation vineyard and winery. First bottled in 1989. They grow on 23 hectares with 13 vineyards spread over 15 locations. They age in French oak and produce 60k bottles per year. What we tasted: Rebula 2016 Malvasia 2017 Triton Lex 2017 Pinot Grigio 2010 Sauvignon blanc 2014 Duet Lex 2014 Duet Lex 2005 Kolos 2011 #goriskabrda #wine #slovenianwine #naturalwine #slovenia (at Edi Simcic winery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzpZe8Sox1d/?igshid=1o157msz4z0sp
Visited @reyaoton in the Goriska Brda region of western Slovenia. Oton was generous both with his time and wines. A bit of a one man band with a great sense of humor. As evidenced by naming some of his wines “bastard” and “orangoton”. He grows 8 types of grapes on 3.5 hectares. He produces 60% white wines and 40% red wines. He uses oak wood but from different countries and blends. He used acacia for first time this past year for his rebula. Oton produces 10,000 bottles per year. At one point he exported but now just sells within several hundred kilometers. What we tried (oy): Beli Pinot 2017 & 2016 (dry white) Chardonnay 2017 Jakot 2017 Rebula 2017 aged in oak Rebula 2018 aged in acacia Rebula 2018 aged in oak Pinot Grigio 2017 Merlot 2018 Merlot 2016 aged in Austrian-Hungarian wood Merlot 2016 aged in French wood Bastard 2015 #otonreya #goriskabrda #wine #slovenianwine #naturalwine #slovenia @pipastrela18a (at Kozana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzn-O2WI1n7/?igshid=3tnn7uh9ljyw
