VIPAVA SPARKLING

Gaining on popularity worldwide, sparkling wine is no exception also in Vipava valley. About 10 years ago there may only be one or two sparkling wine producers in entire Vipava valley. There is no tradition of making sparkling wine in Vipava valley, many winemakers decided to try it recently anyway. What drives them to this decision? They stressed the personal challenge of making something new, but other momentum is certainly of financial nature, there is demand on sparkling wines in Slovenia. 
Recently Tourist information center in Vipava organized a nice tasting of sparkling wines from Vipava valley, upper part mostly. It wasn't just a tasting. The art of sparkling wine production was explained along with tasting samples starting with base for sparkling wine and further process stages before it is ready for drinking. Afterwards five different sparkling wines were to taste. From white to rose, from dry to sweet. Seems there is no limit in sparkling wine range.         
Will any winemaker in Vipava valley reach the quality to have guts and make only sparkling wine ?
