Wine Description
Colour is pale lemon yellow. On the nose, it is rather pronounced with classical Riesling nose reminiscent of very ripe, yellow fruits like peaches, apricots, bit of honey, lemons, acacia. Quite sweet on the palate with slightly oily texture and high levels of ripe balanced acidities that add to lovely drinkability. Very youthful at the moment but will survive at least a decade.
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.
