The ^otars' vineyards lie on the high karst between Komen and the Italian border. Refo{k vines dominate, producing Kra{ki Teran; among red varieties they also grow Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The ^otars' white wines are Chardonnay and Sauvignon.
The ^otars' cellaring is strictly classical, and their wines are fermented and matured in oak barrels. A wine archive next to the cellar stores his best vintages.
The ^otars' Kra{ki Teran is well known throughout Slovenia; its aroma is very strong, and the wine is heavily macerated in keeping with the karst tradition. Branko and Vasja ^otar claim that some vintages of their Teran ages well, which is quite unusual for this type of wine.
Connoisseurs especially appreciate ^otar's Cabernet Sauvignon Barrique.
The best ^otar vintages are 1989 and 1993.
