Wine Description
The colour is deep golden. Intense on the nose which clearly, without any doubt speaks of a rich, full, oak aged “Chardonnay” matured on the fine less. Butter, bread crust, ripe quince, apricots, and ripe continental fruits. Fine and varied.
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.
