WINE
The Rodica Organic Winery is located in the heart of Slovene Istria, in the
village of Truške near Marezige, above Koper. Its location on the top of the
hill offers magnificent views over the Gulf of Trieste and the unspoilt nature
of the Dragonja valley. Our vineyards spread across the southern slopes of the
Istrian hills, with the altitude ranging from 250 to 350 m above sea level.
Covering the area of 15 hectares, we grow 60,000 vines of mostly autochthonous

Cabernet Sauvi gnon, Syrah and Pinot Gris.

Refošk reserve displays an intense ruby-red color with youthful violet hues. The bouquet is remarkably complex, clearly reflecting its extended maturation in oak barrels for over 30 months. Aromas of jammy and marmalade-like fruit—plum, raspberry, and sour cherry—are beautifully layered with notes of coffee and dark chocolate.
On the palate, the wine remains fresh and vibrant, offering a rich, full-bodied structure with finely textured, almost velvety tannins. Flavors of ripe and overripe berries unfold harmoniously, leading to a long, fresh, and fruity finish that reveals excellent aging potential.
Food Pairing:
Grilled meat dishes, Florentine steak, and an exceptional pairing with beef steak and truffles.
WORD OF PRODUCER
Our winery dedicates a lot of time to wine production and storage.
Instead of rough technological procedures, we use the traditional
production methods. We carefully follow the fermentation and give our
wine plenty of time to calm down, purify and mature. Our vineyards
spread across the southern slopes of the Istrian hills, with the view over
the Gulf of Trieste and the unspoilt nature of the Dragonja valley. The
best vintages mature without any oenological substances or sulphur
added. Our wine offer includes several wine ranges; however different,
they together add to the visibility of the Truške wine growing area.
