ORANŽNA


is a saline skin contact white wine made from grapes grown along Slovenia’s Adriatic Coast. It was intended to be the final wine of the vineyard, which was set to be grafted to other varieties but the wine was too good to not allow the vines a few more vintages. Technically it is two vineyards. About 15% percent of the juice is Malvazija from a site that gives a flinty structure to the wine, a welcome balance to, the sunny disposition of the old vines. It is a quintessential expression of Coastal Slovenian skin contact white wine AKA Orange Wine.
