Meditative

Compelling and structured Vitovska with tropical citrus, herbal spice, and pronounced minerality.

Nose: Tropical citrus zest, orchard fruit, herbal spice.
Palate: Fuller fruit underpinned by a pronounced mineral thread that speaks of limestone-rich Karst soils. Fresh, focused acidity gives tension and drive, while subtle tannic grip from extended skin contact adds structure and presence. Layers of subtle saline nuance and earth-derived complexity run through the profile.
Finish: Vibrant and refined, showcasing Vitovska's distinctive character.
Serve: Chilled, 10–12°C.

A unique local grape shaped by terra rossa, extended maceration, and oak ageing.

Vitovska from the Karst (Kras) region of Slovenia, grown on terra rossa—iron-rich red limestone soils near the Adriatic coast.

Vines: 100% Vitovska, a unique white grape indigenous to the Slovenian and Friuli-Carso Karst.
Soils: Terra rossa (iron-rich red limestone), shaped by sea breezes and dry inland winds creating an intense yet fresh microclimate.
Farming: Traditional viticulture with minimal intervention.
Cellar: Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, often involving maceration on the skins, followed by extended ageing in wine-soaked oak barrels.
Additions: No added sulphites, no fining, no filtration.
