Bottled in burgundy shaped bottle since 2022. It shows pale lemon-golden colour. Quite intense on the nose, fruity, varietal. Not in your face, with just right intensity. Inviting and varied.

There is more fruity than herbal notes, but both groups of aromas can be sensed. Hay, passion fruit, elderflower, pineapple, wet stone. Smoky as well. Nicely knit.

Very dry, with moderate acidity for the vintage 2023 and with fuller body. Aroma profile on the palate continues what already started on the nose. Aerating it in the mouth intensifies its aroma and ads minerality and saltiness to the character. Slightly juicier than usually but preserving varietal heterogenous Sauvignon Blanc character from Štajerska. With long aftertaste.

Various vegetable dishes, especially with green bell peppers, tomatoes or asparaguses will be great.

2023 winter was mild, with almost no snow. Spring was cold and wet. Flowering started rather late on the 10^st of June in warm, nice weather. Summer was rainy with several storms. On the 4^th of August catastrophic floods hit central part of the country. Maintaining the grape health was extremely challenging. Warm summer after the 10^th of August allowed for a more relaxed continuation. Harvest started on the 10^th of September and finished on the first week of October. We obtained extremely drinkable wines with a slightly lower alcohol level, aromatic and with a well-expressed varietal character. We can talk about a very good, typical vintage for Štajerska Slovenija.
