dried orchard fruit, citrus peel, herbs, spice and a firm phenolic, long mineral finish.
grape varieties and region specifics
a long-aged white cuvée of rebula, welschriesling and istrian malvasia; spontaneous fermentation and around 36 months of oak ageing. this is a direct expression of kras and the way stemberger works with the vineyard and cellar.
perfect pairings and occasions
pair it with mushrooms, roast vegetables, poultry, richer fish or aged cheese. serve it when you want a bottle with a clear sense of place and enough personality to stay interesting through the meal.
SERVING NOTES
Serve around 13–14°C. If fridge-cold, give it 15–20 minutes outside before serving.
Decant for 30–45 minutes. The extended skin contact and long ageing make this wine much more expressive with air.
