About Slovenian Wine Making Slovenia’s winemaking tradition has historically been influenced by Austria to the north and Italy to the west. Despite the emergence of celebrity winemakers, such as Ales Kristancic of Movia, and recent wine media attention, Slovenia is still one of Europe’s greatest wine secrets. Slovenia has been producing quality wines for centuries, and since becoming independent in 1991 it has become a source of highly-redarded private-production wines. Best example – Pullus Late Harvest Riesling from Stajerska Slovenia won the Best of Show Dessert Wine Award at the 2009 San Francisco International Wine Competition.
The Podravje Region (aka Stajerska Slovenia) The best vineyard sites are on hillsides with southern exposure, and Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Traminer and Yellow Muscat produced here are outstanding. Stajerska is also capable to deliver excellent Burgundy style Pinot Noir as well as Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch.
