Wine Description
The colour medium deep, golden. Intense and varied on the nose, showing maturity. We perceive notes of fully ripe Sauvignon Blanc, where ripe tropical fruits, caramel and spices are dominant while classic grassy, vegetal, and green notes are gently expressed at the back. Sensations of barrel ageing are subtle, very much like in 2015. This is not “in your face” Sauvignon Blanc varietal aroma, but still clearly recognizable. Dry, full bodied on the palate. Acidity level is giving it a firm backbone and is surprisingly high considering the ripeness and alcohol level. Clearly a heavy-weight wine, but still giving a refined experience of a ripe Sauvignon Blanc.

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.
