Zelen

Zelen is a unique and intriguing grape variety that is primarily grown in the Vipava Valley region of Slovenia. This small, lesser-known region is nestled between the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea.

Zelen is known for its vibrant acidity and fresh, crisp flavors. It is often described as having notes of green apple, citrus, and herbs, with a hint of minerality. The wine produced from Zelen grapes is typically light-bodied and refreshing.
While Zelen is primarily grown in Slovenia, it is also cultivated in neighboring regions of Italy and Croatia.
