Wine Description
The colour is pale, lemon-gold. Bubbles are gentle tiny and numerous. On the nose it is quite discrete and although it spent 5 years on the lees it offers a lot of freshness and a fine fruity nose in the form of lime, lemons, green and yellow apples combined with subtle yeasty and roasted notes. It speaks of complexity. Very dry on the mouth, with a very delicate mousse coming from a very long ageing on the yeasts and sharp acidity lifting the wine. With a long and fine finish
Winery
WINEMAKING TRADITION SINCE 1139: At the Dveri-Pax winery in northeastern Slovenia, we are continuing the 800-year-old winemaking tradition of the Admont Benedictine monks - with great respect for nature and a keen sense for trends. Our vineyards cover 73 hectares, and the vintners work with a great respect for nature and tradition as well as a keen sense of trends.
