Renčel Winery has a rich history, with a homestead that has evolved through generations. While livestock farming and agriculture were once the mainstay, the family has always prioritized winemaking as their core focus. Over time, traditional farming practices gave way to vineyards, marking a significant shift in the estate's direction. The family embraced the unique potential of the Primorska region by cultivating diverse grape varieties beyond the classic Karst selections.
At Renčel Winery, you will find a selection of grapes including Teran, Pinot Noir, Vitovska Grganja, Malvasia, and Sauvignon Blanc. These grapes are carefully harvested by hand during September and October to ensure optimal ripeness. The vineyards, surrounded by lush grass, are cultivated with ecological sensitivity, reflecting the winery's commitment to sustainable practices. The region's distinctive red soil, known as "terra rossa," imparts unique flavors to the grapes, with an average yield of 4,000 to 4,500 kg per hectare.
Renčel Winery prides itself on its natural winemaking methods. The wines are crafted without cultured yeasts, added tannins, or acids, and are not subjected to cleaning or filtering. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with ambient yeasts, and malolactic fermentation is typically completed. The maceration process is tailored to each grape variety, resulting in wines that are recognized as authentic orange wines.

Write a reviewIt couldn't be more authentic, sincere and enjoyable than tasting Renčel's top wines! With you, Joško, it feels like another, more beautiful time, when people were spiritually rich due to the values and knowledge with which they lived in harmony with the environment. A wonderful wine experience in the garden of the Renčel winery. My absolute favorite: PINOT NOIR - forever! Renčel's Teran must always be in stock at home. And your ROSÉ never ceases to enchant me. ** With you, Joško, it feels like another, more beautiful time, when people were spiritually rich due to the values and knowledge with which they lived in harmony with the environment.

Today we stopped by at Renčel's place in Dutovlje and tasted some samples of his wines. What enchanted me most, was Joško's warmth, his simplicity. When presenting his wines, deep passion and strong connection to winemaking just blew us away... Joško is not only a winemaker, he is an artist. And what about me? Well, now I am a proud owner of Negra by Renčel wines. Cheers!

Top wine cellar, exquisite wines and father and son winemakers with heart and soul. Teran is one of the better ones, the orange wine is also excellent, although I'm not the biggest fan. It's worth visiting, trying and buying. 👌
