01: Wine characteristics and description

A simply glorious and unique wine, produced from passito Rebula grapes. It’s glowing tawny amber with an inviting complex nose expressing mango, dried peach, honey, rose oil, sultanas and ginger. To taste, it’s gorgeously luscious and silky with flavours of dried apricot, fresh peach, mock orange, quince paste and so much more, all supported by superfine vibrant freshness, leading to an incredibly long and beautifully balanced finish.

2018

The 2018 vintage began with a cold winter, maintaining low temperatures into the spring. One of its distinctive features was a late spring characterized by frequent rain showers, followed by almost perfect weather conditions. After the cold first three months, we experienced extremely pleasant and warm weather in April and May, during which our vines developed a strong canopy. The excellent weather conditions continued into June, where we encountered a bit more rain than desired, but fortunately, it didn't pose any problems. As a result, the grapes of both white and red varieties achieved optimal ripeness, and the expectations for the 2018 vintage are ambitious. Harvesting commenced a little earlier, yielding extraordinary quantities without compromising quality. Truly, a great vintage.
