Wine Description

It shows gentle ruby colour with some purple hues. Youthful, vibrant, and predominantly fruity on the nose. Reminiscent of fresh red berry fruits such as strawberries, raspberries with touch of peppery spice. Very dry on the palate, with refreshing acidities and lighter body and just a hint of tannins. Not unlike a serious rosé in a ruby dress. It is style where youth and exuberant fruitiness is expected from first sniff to finish. And this Blaufränkisch just delivers.

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.
