Generations of the Kabaj family have grown grapes in hilly, verdant Goriška Brda in Western Slovenia close to the Italian border. Goriška Brda is Slovenia’s best known wine appellation. This is due to the cross border status it shares with the more famous Italian Collio. Both Brda and Collio mean hillside. The first vintage was in 93’. They were drinking skin contact wines and started experimenting themselves in 97’. By 2005 they were macerating all white varieties for at least a few days. It is overseen by Katja Kabaj and her husband Jean Michel Morel, who tend the vineyards and the cellar. They make primarily white wines that all see oak for at least a year and each with some amount of skin contact.
