VELVET ROSÉ l.2021, 0,75 l
VELVET Rosé is a fresh rosé wine 100% produced from Žametna Črnina from the Sremič site by the stone cottage. Due to the frost, the yield was about 0.5 kg per vine, but this helped the grapes to ripen to the maximum and we were able to produce a nice rosé wine. It has a light and lively pink colour, tasting fresh and mineral. Dry and balanced.
We recommend it either on its own or with light seafood and meat dishes, it also goes well with Asian dishes.
Serve chilled at 7-9 °C (44.5-48 °F) -
ROSÉ l.2021, 0,75 l
ROSÉ is a wine made from ripe Blaufränkisch grapes grown on the Sremič vineyard next to the Kunej stone cottage. It is a full-bodied wine with a lively acidity, making it great for ageing in the bottle (3-5 years). Despite the slight residual sugar, it still feels dry and oily at the same time, and remains in the mouth long time after drinking.

The grapes for the Welschriesling (Laški rizling) come from Sremič, from a vineyard near our wine cellar. This is the 2020 vintage, which was a good, mature year. The wine has a fruity and drinkable character, and with aging in the bottle, it develops a nice bouquet, with hints of petrol and hay.

Welschriesling, berry selection, l. 2009, 0,50 l
We picked the grapes for the Welschriesling Beerenauslese on St. Nicholas Day in 2009, which proved to be an excellent year for predicate wines. The wine is full and intense, both in smell and in taste, featuring a pleasant sweetness and balanced acidity, and characterized by notes of noble rot. In all its grandeur, it ages beautifully and, after 13 years, it is still holding up excellently against time.
The Beerenauslese can be enjoyed with a dessert or on its own. It is served slightly chilled at 10-12 °C (50-53.5 °F). -
CHARDONNAY, “Sur Lie”, l. 2021, 0,75 l
Our Chardonnay is planted in Sremič on a traditional vineyard site, once cultivated by Trappist monks from Rajhenburg Castle. The 2021 vintage was very special for several reasons. Due to frost damage, the harvest was only one-third of the usual harvest. Thanks to the dry sunny autumn, the remaining grapes ripened nicely and were completely healthy. After the alcoholic fermentation, we conducted malolactic fermentation and then stirred the lees for six months, partly also in wooden barrels. The wine is soft and delicate, yet full-bodied and brimming with character. We believe it will age nicely in bottles and improve with each passing year.
Enjoy it on its own or paired with seafood, risotto and pasta.
Serve chilled at 8-10 °C (46.5-50 °F)
