Default Slovene Wines: red vs whites?

As I spent about 10 days in Slovenia recently, I had the opportunity to
taste a number of wines. While I was more than happy with almost all whites
I sampled, I found their red wines rather dull, often with a not-so-clean
nose and jammy, sometimes oxidized flavours. Was it just bad luck or are
reds generally inferior to whites in Slovenia?

If so, why should it be the case if you consider that neighbouring Veneto,
Frioul and Styria have comparable climatic conditions and produce excellent
whites and reds?

Thanks for any explanation...or for tips regarding red wine growers one
should really look out for!

Yves
