Pasji Rep
Vipava Valley, Slovenia
Samo Premrn is such an accomplished winemaker, crafting an exemplary range of organically certified wines from local and international varieties on the north-facing slopes in the eastern, narrow end of the Vipava Valley in western Slovenia.
Open to the Adriatic at the western end and with a cold mountain wind from the north, the valley is known as a sweet spot for Pinot Noir, but he is also committed to the revival of the Zelen grape, only grown here.
Samo's wines are all intense and pure, the product of perfectly grown grapes handled with great skill.
