Batic
History
The first Batič wines were born in the 16th century, shaped into being by the experienced hands of the monks of Batič estate in Šempas. The only remaining legacy of the once-proud monks of the estate is the knowledge and tradition of high-quality wine production that has been passed from generation to generation over four hundred years.

Interesting Facts
The Batic winery is run by Ivan Batic and his son Mika who use biodynamic and organic farming practices, allowing the movements of the heavens to dictate and guide their grape growing and winemaking endeavours. Their winery is located in Slovenia’s Vipava Valley with vineyards planted at up to 1300ft of altitude which helps ensure complexity and balance in their remarkable collection of wines.
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
