WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Kmetija Stekar Sivi is produced using Pinot Grigio grapes. A key technique is extended skin contact during fermentation, which is carried out spontaneously using indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees. The winemaking philosophy focuses on natural methods and minimal intervention, with a commitment to organic and sustainable farming practices. The vineyards are situated on south and southwest-facing terraces.
