Young producer Damijan Podversic is not your average winemaker. After leaving his father's farm near Gorizia, close to the Slovenian border, he restructured and replanted several abandoned terraces of forgotten vineyards, deemed by many too steep to farm. He now boasts ten splendidly positioned hectares of stony soil (known as “oponka” in the local dialect) which make for optimum grape-growing.
What also sets Damijan apart is his unusual vinification technique, in which white wines are macerated on the skins, with increased maceration time for each successive vintage. Damijan’s non-interventionalist approach continues in his use of natural yeast fermentation, upright wooden fermenters, and a complete ban of stainless steel from his small winery in a rented cellar.
A blend of Chardonnay, Tocai Friulano and Malvasia Istriana, Kablja (which means “drop” in Slovenian), is a concentrated, golden-colored wine, rich in tannins and packed with fruit flavors. Damijan calls it “living wine”, a term which has become a motto for his winemaking philosophy.
