Producer notes from @"Eric Guido"
"....Čotar is located just over the Italian border in Slovenia in an area known as Kras, which is actually an extension of Friuli’s Carso district, a region that is well known for its production of Refosco. However, here in Kras, Refosco takes on the name Terrano, a variety that father-son team Branko and Vajsa Čotar excel with...."100% Terrano (Refosco)
Based on the label, it appears the disgorgement may have occurred in 2022.
Only a slight effervescence on the palate. Bone dry. Excellent minerality. Shockingly purple yet fairly deft in the mouth. A food wine with the stoniness. Paired with grilled shrimp and filet mignon, creamed spinach and sautéed shrooms...
I'm looking forward to trying the 2013 Čotar Crna still red wine.
This is really my first experience, I think, with Slovenian wine...
Interesting!
