Low extract and lip smackingly fresh, with just a kiss of sea breeze. From young vines ecologically cultivated right on theAdriatic sea. DRY RED WINE WINEMAKER: Matej Zaro VINTAGE: 2021 REGION: Slovenia, Slovenska Istra, Izola VINEYARD: 4ha positioned overlooking the Adriatic ASPECT: Slight southerly exposition ALTITUDE:&nbsp;50m SOIL: Flysch and Clay FARMING: Organic GRAPE(S): 100% Refošk HARVEST: SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 MACERATION: Destemed, maceration of 7 - 10 days FERMENTATION: Spontaneous in stainless steel AGING: 2 year in stainless steel FILTRATION: Unfiltered BOTTLES PRODUCED: 10,000 Eazy comes from the ZARO family cellars in Izola. It is a wine that is mainly sold through their wine bar MANZIOLI. All of the fruit comes from their organically cultivated vineyards. The Eazy vineyard is a literal stone’s throw from the sea. Slovenia’s idyllic slice of the Adriatic, is dotted with seaside villages and vineyards full of the ancient red Refošk variety. The Italians call it Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, but the variety and its kin are much more important in Slovenia/Croatia than in Italy, and generally produce more interesting wines. IZOLA is a favorite of ours; its combination of sun, stone and sea results in a Refošk unique to the region and very useful to have on hand when it comes to seafood. While tourists guzzle white Istrian Malvazija, the locals will opt for a fresh Refošk. We love when Istrian restaurants have a good “open” Refošk. This is a reference to a wine that does not make it to bottle but instead is sold locally on draft. Typically these are low in alcohol and extract while high in acidity and sea inflected. Ubiquitous to the region, a red wine of this style and function is a rarity here in the US. What other red wines enhance strong seafood? It's smashing with tinned fish, mussels, mackerel, squid ink risotto, raw tuna, cured anchovies...This is not to say it is for seafood alone. Charred green veggies, salty cheeses, locals will drink it with big plates of expertly cut salt cured ham Pršut, Slovenian Prosciutto. Its acidity and saltiness make it especially complementary of savory flavors. <img width="582" height="1048" width_o="582" height_o="1048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/de724ed65b3aead638ca6b206bf2bd1cd16483044820f9c94e18aa759d07580c/ezfish.jpg" data-mid="123075945" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/582/i/de724ed65b3aead638ca6b206bf2bd1cd16483044820f9c94e18aa759d07580c/ezfish.jpg" /> Eazy ORANZNA https://blacklambwine.cargo.site/Eazy-ORANZNA Fri, 19 Apr 2024 00:20:36 +0000 black lamb wine - importer of wine exotica https://blacklambwine.cargo.site/Eazy-ORANZNA EAZY FROM IZOLA! <img width="3324" height="1998" width_o="3324" height_o="1998" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f0d90fd43ffa74be926a9d5ac7d7519253927557ce12af2082ab1e330c07b73/eazy-o-ttb.jpg" data-mid="209279830" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f0d90fd43ffa74be926a9d5ac7d7519253927557ce12af2082ab1e330c07b73/eazy-o-ttb.jpg" /> DRY ORANŽNA WINE WINEMAKER: Matej Zaro VINTAGE: 2022 REGION: Slovenia, Slovenska Istra, Izola VINEYARD: mixed vineyard of old vines ASPECT: Southerly exposition ALTITUDE: 150m SOIL: Flysch and Clay FARMING: Organic GRAPE(S): Malvazija, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Yellow Muscat HARVEST: mid September MACERATION: Destemed, maceration of 14 days mixed varieties. 15% was Malvazija pressed off of the skins FERMENTATION: Spontaneous in stainless steel, small percentage of oak tank aged Malvazija.

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.

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.&nbsp;It is a quintessential expression of Coastal Slovenian skin contact white wine AKA Orange Wine. <img width="582" height="1048" width_o="582" height_o="1048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/de724ed65b3aead638ca6b206bf2bd1cd16483044820f9c94e18aa759d07580c/ezfish.jpg" data-mid="209279829" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/582/i/de724ed65b3aead638ca6b206bf2bd1cd16483044820f9c94e18aa759d07580c/ezfish.jpg" /> Czechia https://blacklambwine.cargo.site/Czechia Wed, 27 Dec 2023 19:30:24 +0000 black lamb wine - importer of wine exotica https://blacklambwine.cargo.site/Czechia WINE PRODUCERS IN THE POLITICALLY DEMARCATED ZONE OF... <img width="2203" height="1358" width_o="2203" height_o="1358" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a88dbdf344fbc7ff2d784a23f04977100387aff9e4a213d7b872cef5ccf9cb8b/CZECH-MAP-WEB.jpeg" data-mid="200211896" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a88dbdf344fbc7ff2d784a23f04977100387aff9e4a213d7b872cef5ccf9cb8b/CZECH-MAP-WEB.jpeg" /> PRODUCERS OŠICKASOUTH MORAVIA KORABSOUTH MORAVIA DVA DUBYSOUTH MORAVIA TŘI ČTVRTĚSOUTH MORAVIA PETRA&nbsp;BREDOVA SOUTH MORAVIA <img width="902" height="1294" width_o="902" height_o="1294" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/49c61c622d268aa01e34ef92428773de56025ea1f2b756638d431472db507e69/legal-block.png" data-mid="200800743" border="0" data-scale="53" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/902/i/49c61c622d268aa01e34ef92428773de56025ea1f2b756638d431472db507e69/legal-block.png" /> <img width="1002" height="73" width_o="1002" height_o="73" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/94dbeeed58c8701682cdbbda386f9d13cccbacd04d1ce73f5a5ed4cf39414ebc/blacklambwine-advistory-footer.png" data-mid="200211229" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/94dbeeed58c8701682cdbbda386f9d13cccbacd04d1ce73f5a5ed4cf39414ebc/blacklambwine-advistory-footer.png" /> PUBERŤÁK https://blacklambwine.cargo.site/PUBERTAK Thu, 21 Nov 2024 00:15:14 +0000 black lamb wine - importer of wine exotica https://blacklambwine.cargo.site/PUBERTAK <img width="2550" height="3300" width_o="2550" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc0008630e77a9f03f5514c8ff2131eb13532276f4c211a908901d0b10509e66/pubertak-22-techsheet-2.jpg" data-mid="222960107" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc0008630e77a9f03f5514c8ff2131eb13532276f4c211a908901d0b10509e66/pubertak-22-techsheet-2.jpg" /> DVA DUBY https://blacklambwine.cargo.site/DVA-DUBY Wed, 27 Dec 2023 09:35:48 +0000 black lamb wine - importer of wine exotica https://blacklambwine.cargo.site/DVA-DUBY DVA DUBY <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a51c4d4754b1f35c34988a1675f982b043d53bd77c7de4972b5526c8eb36c07/DVA-Duby.jpeg" data-mid="200180806" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a51c4d4754b1f35c34988a1675f982b043d53bd77c7de4972b5526c8eb36c07/DVA-Duby.jpeg" /> 2018 MULLER-THURGAU 2018 IMPERA 2018 SVÄTOVAVRINECKÉ 2017 SVÄTOVAVRINECKÉ 2018 EX OPERE OPERATO II 2018 VOX IN EXCELSO <img width="333" height="219" width_o="333" height_o="219" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7efefa9c79862cecbf5c17d00b2b8326e6415112c662883f344b8a9bc3e77b87/pan.jpg" data-mid="201594226" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/333/i/7efefa9c79862cecbf5c17d00b2b8326e6415112c662883f344b8a9bc3e77b87/pan.jpg" /> PRODUCER: DVA Duby.
