Blue Franconian Grapes - a photo on Flickriver

            Blue Franconian Grapes - One of Slovenia's best kept wine industry treasures.

Spent a lovely day picking grapes during harvest. I truly enjoyed the experience, coming from a place where grapes arrived packed, not plucked. The sensation of cradling a bunch in your hands is intoxicating. The smell of freshly crushed grapes a fragrance I will never forgot.

Speaking of grapes, Slovenia's unique contribution to the world of wine must be the Cvicek - a light red wine, which comes from the Sava Valley in the Dolenjska viticultural area. Cvicek is exclusive to this region and is protected by law since 2000. The wine is unique in that it is a blend of red and white varieties of grapes. A very rare occurence. Cvicek is primarily a blend of Žametna Črnina and some Blue Franconian (among the reds) and Kraljevina, Italian Riesling, Rumeni Plavec, Sauvignon, Bela Zlahtnina and Styrian Belina (among the whites).
