POSESTVO
The marl terraces of the Vipava hills are warmed by the Mediterranean sun and cooled by the Vipava bora wind, thus creating unique conditions for the growth of vines. Here, on the southern outskirts of the Vipava Valley, local varieties, adapted to these special growing conditions, have always thrived. And we deeply respect that decision made by nature. On the Štokelj estate, which lies among the best wine-growing areas, we cultivate vineyards with gratitude for the space and respect for the unique conditions and opportunities that our wine-growing areas offer. We treat the heritage of the traditional Vipava Valley homestead thoughtfully and sustainably - that's why we swear by local varieties, because we want our wines to taste of mineral marl, Planina sun and Vipava bora wind in its most authentic form.


Tradition and Knowledge
Preserving the tradition of a small Vipava Valley homestead and having a modern approach to wine production is a commitment we follow. Preserving local varieties and the range of varieties that have been present on our estate for four generations is how we pay tribute to our ancestors. A modern outlook on wine and bearing in mind the end consumer is a promise we have been faithful to since the day we stepped into the vineyard. We are constantly learning with knowledge as our most respectful value. We learn from nature, our grandmother, experience, and from others who think differently and know more. We learn from the young and the old and follow their ideas and experiences. We value knowledge and respect terroir. Therefore, in addition to the taste of the valley, our thoughts and desire to bring only the best to you are imprinted in the wines.
Family
Our family consists of three generations; Marta, Damjan and Majda, and the youngest three - Špela, Nejc and Leja. The intertwining of youthful energy and prudent wisdom through daily work and life on the estate allows us to always give the best we have and know. We, the Štokelj family, want to know our environment and be good masters of our land. With our work we are honest to the vine and to the wine. To ourselves and to you.
The family is the cell within which everything is possible. One of the foundations of our estate is family and people who are dedicated to work and life with vines and wine. People who grew up in a typical countryside family in Slovene Littoral – modest, hardworking and persistent. And from there we grow and build heritage for future generations.

Wines

Pinela
Pinela has a special place on our estate. The autochthonous variety impresses with its freshness, minerality and clearly expressed character of the Vipava Valley. more

Rosé
Although at first glance, this Rosé is Provencal, it is in fact 100% of Vipava Valley origin. It is made from Merlot, which adds a serious body to the youthful freshness. more

Planta Bela (White Planta)
Bela Planta (White Planta) is an eternal classic with local spices. Chardonnay gives this wine variety a rich body, Rebula gives it fruitiness, while Pinela enriches it with minerality. more

Plant Rdeča (Red Planta)
Planta Rdeča (Red Planta) is a tribute to the red Vipava Valley wine variety. Luxurious Merlot and lively Barbera make a great pair in the bottle. more

Sparkling Pinela
The desire to explore the potentials of Pinela led us to sparkling Pinela produced by the classical method. more

Ambrosia
Ambrosia je sladka rebula, ki jo v zlato posuši vipavska burja. Pijača grških bogov, ki daje večno mladost. več
Vinska kraljica Slovenije
We are proud to have been able to sit on the Slovenian wine throne for a year with Špela, who in 2014 ruled the Slovenian wine-growing region as the 18th Wine Queen of Slovenia. Špela fulfilled her mission of spreading the culture of growing, nurturing and consuming wine conscientiously and with pride, along with the help of her royal Pinela. Špela describes her experience:
When I look back on the year of the Wine Queen of Slovenia, these are not just mere memories, but experiences that will forever change my view, understanding, perception and what I am. I had the honour of meeting people who impressed me with words, actions, and bold ideas about wine promotion. I shared my ideas with people who understood the meaning and value of our exceptional Slovenian landscape, which is a gift, as well as a source and an opportunity. I shared many concerns, including hardships and uncertainties, but most of all happiness, joy and visions. That is why that year was unforgettable.
WELCOME
