NATURAL WINES BY KMETIJA STEKAR
Kmetija Stekar is the family farm of Janko and Tamara Stekar in Kojsko, in Slovenia's Brda hills on the Italian border. They farm 5 hectares of terraced vineyards on ponca, the local marl and sandstone, at about 180 metres facing south and south-west. Rebula, Malvazija, Pinot Grigio, Friulano, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc are the main grapes.
The cellar follows Brda's old skin-contact tradition, with spontaneous ferments, macerations from a few days to several weeks, and long ageing in wood. Sivi, a Pinot Grigio from vines over 40 years old, is the easiest way into their orange wines. Pinot Draga gives Pinot Grigio 20 days on the skins, and Jankot is Friulano with 25 days on skins and three years in acacia barrels, bottled with no added sulphur.
