Wine Description
The colour is pale pink. Numerous tiny bubbles are playful and lively. On the nose it is gentle, delicate, reminiscent of ripe wild strawberries, discrete spices, ripe red apples, bit yeasty as well. Still very youthful. Dry on the palate, effervescence is still rather intense, and bubbles are slightly bigger compared to DP Brut, but they remain very pleasant. Acidities are moderate for a sparkling wine while notes of ripe red fruits, bread crust and yeast are even more intense than on the nose. With a long, enjoyable 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.
