Primož Lavrenčič is undoubtedly one of the best wine makers in Slovenia. After many years in the family winery, he started his own project, Burja, named after the strong wind that blows through the Vipava Valley. His approach is based on natural balance and in minimising the human intervention as much as possible. In his own words, in the cellar he is “only controlling temperature and oxidation, everything else I’m only monitoring”.

Pinot Noir (100%)

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most revered red grape varieties, known for its ability to express site with clarity and finesse. Typically showing red and dark cherry fruit, floral notes and subtle earthiness, it is light to medium bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity. Styles range from delicate and aromatic to more structured and concentrated, depending on climate and winemaking approach.
