Renčel Boutique Wines

Tasting the enticing natural wines prepared by Joško Renčel in the village of Dutovlje is a memorable experience. He is convinced that, just like prosciutto, grapes also benefit from the drying process, which is why he picks his grapes one month later than other winemakers. 

He is proud of his farm’s tradition which features a wall older than 400 years. He is lucky that his rows of grapevines are planted with a north–south orientation, thus receiving ideal sunlight. But in fact, his greatest achievement is a detour from the Karst tradition, exploring by planting other varieties and testing new procedures. When the vintage is great, he tries to reap all the benefits of nature by leaving the grapes on the vine for as long as possible.  He only bottles good vintages and adjusts maceration to the grape variety. At Renčel's farm, you can taste premium orange wines, red wines, and sweet wines from dried grapes.
