RED WINES: kraçki teran, cabernet sauvignon, merlot
WHITE WINES: chardonnay, sauvignon
WINEGROWING AREA: Kras

     The ¬otars' vineyards lie on the high karst between Komen and the Italian border. Refoçk vines dominate, producing Kraçki 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' Kraçki 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.
