Terase

T e r a s e

The Terase Collection: Only the Best Will Do. Only the best is truly good enough for our Terase wines. The very foundation of this collection lies in carefully selected, hand-harvested grapes from the sun-drenched, unique terraced vineyards of the Vipava Valley. These are wines of refined taste, reflecting the distinct Vipava terroir after more than 12 months of maturation in oak barrels. Our specific winemaking approach ensures these wines retain the full richness of their varietal character while profoundly expressing the influence of the very location where the grapes ripened. These mature, structurally rich, yet elegant wines are sure to captivate even the most discerning wine enthusiasts.
