Čotar
The Čotar winery is a distinguished family-run vineyard located in the picturesque region of the Karst in Slovenia. Renowned for its dedication to traditional winemaking techniques, the winery embraces organic farming practices, ensuring that every grape is cultivated with care and respect for the environment. The unique terroir of the Karst, characterized by its limestone-rich soil and distinct microclimate, imparts a distinctive minerality and complexity to Čotar wines.

Čotar's winemaking process is deeply rooted in tradition, with a focus on natural fermentation and minimal intervention. This approach results in wines that are both expressive and true to their origins. The use of large oak barrels for aging further enhances the depth and character of their offerings.
