About the Wine – Sutor Red
I found Sutor the same way you find things that end up mattering: by accident. A few clicks on Google Maps, a pin dropped in Vipavska Dolina, and suddenly I was standing in front of wines that felt far more composed than they had any right to be. Sutor Red is the bottle that sealed it for me. I poured it blind for my father, a man who drinks nothing but Bordeaux, and watched him confidently place it in Lalande-de-Pomerol, with a few years of age. He wasn’t wrong in spirit. This wine carries that same quiet authority: deep, full-bodied, balanced without feeling heavy. It is made with 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, after all. There’s nothing showy here. No wild edges, no murkiness to hide behind. Just a natural red that feels settled, confident, and unmistakably elegant.
About the Winemakers – Sutor
Mitja makes wines the way he lives: calmly, without forcing things. He doesn’t filter, but he also doesn’t chase the cloudy aesthetic that so often defines natural wine. Instead, he lets time do the work. The wines rest in oak, the sediment sinks, and clarity comes naturally. That patience shows. His reds have a sense of order and polish that you usually associate with places like Burgundy or Bordeaux, not with low-intervention winemaking. It’s exactly that balance, between freedom and restrain, that made working with Sutor feel inevitable.
Food Pairing
This is a red that deserves a proper table. Slow-cooked meats, a good piece of beef, mushrooms cooked down until they’re almost sweet, or simply a roast with friends who don’t need convincing. It’s generous and grounded, the kind of wine that invites conversation, then quietly steals it.

Why natural wine costs more, and why it’s worth it
-
No shortcuts
Growers who refuse pesticides and chemical additives accept that they’ll lose a significant part of their harvest to weather, disease, and unpredictable nature, but they do it to keep their wines pure, alive, and honest.
-
Risk and loss
Nature swings between plenty and scarcity; frost, hail, heat and ferments can erase volumes, fewer bottles must carry the farm’s costs, with ageing measures adding expense to keep the wine clean and true over time.
-
Integrity and handwork
Hands replace chemicals: they weed, manage canopies, pick, and sort by hand; presses and gravity moves protect texture, while cleanliness and patient ageing deliver purity without shortcuts, increasing labor but preserving integrity in every bottle.
