Gorjansko · Karst · Slovenia
Čotar
Branko and Vasja Čotar work with red Karst soils, coastal winds and local varieties near the Italian border.
THE GROWER
Based in Gorjansko, a few kilometres from the Italian border, Čotar is rooted in Slovenia’s Karst. The family’s story dates to 1974, with its first wines bottled in 1990. Branko and Vasja work in a landscape of red earth and karst depressions, influenced by the sea breeze known as Mornik and the northerly Bora.
The vineyards follow biodynamic practices and include Refosco, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malvasia Istriana, Sauvignon and Vitovska. Vitovska and Malvasia Istriana are particular expressions of this setting. Branko’s and Vasja’s fingerprints appear on the labels as personal signatures, linking the wines directly to the people and land behind them.
