Harvest notes
Harvesting took place by varieties in the morning. Each variety waited for the moment of appropriate ripeness of the grapes. The grapes are nurtured in a nature-friendly way, are strictly selected and are picked exclusively by hand.
Vinification
The grapes were immediately pressed, and then each variety was fermented separately with indigenous yeasts. After the fermentation was completed, we performed typification and stored the wine in a chilled steel tank.
Ageing
After typification, the wine matures in refrigerated stainless steel tanks and waits to be bottled just before sale.
It should be served with grilled chicken and salad in the shadow on a sunny summer afternoon. You should also try it with sauteed asparagus wrapped in bacon.
Across the Gorjanci bordering Bela krajina, along the Krka river all the way to its outflow into the Sava river the hilly Dolenjska continues across the Sava river towards Sremič and Bizeljsko area. This is where family Zajc make wines full of life.
