Wine Description

Medium deep and still ruby despite some years of maturation. Quite pronounced on the nose displaying leather, musk, gentle oak ageing, black pepper, and dark cherries. Dry on the palate, with a good amount of tannins, that are keeping it in a good shape. Medium bodied with noticeable levels of acidity. Wine shows pleasant maturity while still retaining freshness and vibrancy.

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.
