WIPACH Wine Estate
We are a rather small family-run boutique winery.
We believe in natural methods of processing the grapes. We are certain that the highest quality only goes hand in hand with a complete commitment. We aspire to our wines being natural and people-friendly.
The name WIPACH is an old Celtic name for Vipava. The word derives from two short celtic words, »WIP« (a valley) and »ACH« (a rock) meaning »Valley beneath the rocks«.
Wipach wines are made acoording to the method called bâtonnage (periodic lees stirring during the time the wine is being aged on its lees). Thus, through natural processes in wine, its cream-like texture and smooth,
intense flavour are highlighted.
Our ultimate goal is to create the purest expression of the grape, the terroir, and the vintage. We work with as little intervention as possible, enabling each wine to evolve as intended.
Often said, but very true, all great wine starts in the vineyard. It is truly all about place in combination with the highest quality fruit and letting the varietal and regional typicity of the wine shine through from vineyard to glass.
During the tasting, we take you around our wine cellar and offer you a selection of autochthonous and local wines accompanied by homemade snacks. We will also introduce you to the history of winemaking in the Vipava Valley and explain the basics of producing individual wines.
With a production of wine extending on an area of nearly 12 hectars, the Žorž farm is one of the largest in the Vipava Valley. Žorž vineyards are sowed with red grapes varieties, such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Barbera, as well as white grape varieties Pinot Gris, Sauvignon, Muscat Blanc and we are also very proud to have our local indigenous varieties ZELEN and PINELA.
