Goriska Brda, Slovenia
This glorious, complex wine brings two worlds together – tradition and modernity. 68-year-old vines at 200 to 250 m on the region’s particular opoka soil provided this wine's fantastic, concentrated grapes. It was fermented for 8 days with skins in concrete eggs (made with stones from the vineyard), and has an impressive aromatic expression of orange blossom, spice, wild herbs, and peach fruit. The palate is intense and sapid, pure and bright, with ripe peach notes, orange zest, and spice, underscored by a mineral core and superfine tannins. A wine with a long life ahead of it, too.
