A few kilometers from the Italian border, in the small village of Gorjansko, stands the Cotar company, by Branco & Vasja, in the Slovenian Karst. The Karst is a land in between, embraced by Italy, Slovenia and Croatia, consisting of a limestone plateau of the Dinaric Alps, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. In 1974, the family built the first part of the cellar dug into the rock and thus produced its first wine. In 1990 they bottled the first wines, which they subsequently sold in 1998. On this sweet and bitter land, the typical varieties of the area are grown, with the utmost respect for nature: Refosco, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malvasia Istriana, Sauvignon, Vitovska. In an area characterized by the Mornik winds, which blow from the sea, the Bora, which blows from the north and a red earth, brought back from the karst depressions (dolines), extend the 7.5 hectares of land, divided into eight plots, cultivated according to the practices of biodynamic agriculture. They are all unique and charismatic wines, that only a land like the Karst is capable of giving.
