Vinakras

Vinakras develops its viticulture and winemaking in accordance with the natural features of the Karst environment.

This is the homeland of the Slovenian and world speciality wine, teran. The wine is produced from the refosèk variety, which is, among other things, the most common variety in the area.

The growth of the vines in the Karst wine-growing region is significantly influenced by the red soil – terra rossa or jerina – which is rich in minerals and iron. The iron oxides in the soil give it its characteristic red colour.

The karst soil gives terra cotta its characteristic taste and, compared to other wines, it contains a high percentage of lactic acid. Research has shown that it has a positive effect on the human organism. It is recommended for people who are anaemic.
