Wine Description
It displays gentle garnet colour with a touch of ruby. On the nose it shows medium intense classic Pinot Noir character with plenty of strawberries, red berry fruits and a gentle layer of smoke are interlaced with notes of undergrowth, earth, mushrooms. Persistent and compact, showing more and more complexity with time. Dry on the palate, medium to full bodied with lovely freshness usually expected in great Pinot Noirs. With quite firm tannic grip. Fully mature in great condition and long aftertaste.

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.
