Potočnik

Tucked away in a valley called the Dog’s Tail (Pasji rep), protected from the bora wind, this sun-kissed estate has the perfect conditions for growing grapes. The valley and the name of the vineyard were already mentioned in Johann Weikhard von Valvasor's book “Slava vojvodine Kranjske” (The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola) back in 1689, and in writer and priest Matija Vertovec's book “Vinoreja za Slovence” (Winemaking for the Slovenes) from 1844. Wine connoisseurs know the homestead for its zelèn wine which has been made in their ancient vaulted cellar for centuries.
