KARST

Slovenia is a karstic land, and its region of Karst is a limestone plateau stretching from the Gulf of Trieste to the Vipava Valley. Rivers, ponds and lakes can disappear and then resurface in the Karst’s porous limestone through sinkholes and funnels, often resulting in underground caverns like the fabulous caves at Škocjan and Postojna.

Karst is the home of the bora wind, and the warmest rays of sunshine. Under the favorable weather conditions, the wines on the dark red soil, where grows excellent grape that make a premium quality wine.
