Furmint, Sauvignon Blanc & Welschriesling, Gorca, Slovenia

A generous white blend straight from the undulating Haloze Hills of Slovenia. Partners in life and wine Maria and Michael restored their “sleeping beauty” property of steep terraces back in 2011 and have since been producing classy as all heck cuvees, showing their Mediterranean and Alpine influences in spades. The organic blend includes regional faves like the green, spiced furmint (40%), tart, mineral welschriesling (20%), and aromatic and zesty sauvignon blanc (40%) varying in age from 12-65 years and grown on calcareous clay-marl soils, aka opok! Tropically citric, elderflower tonic, pear jellybean, salted butter, gunpowder & sand dunes of minerality. A vacation for the Ontario bound snow bunnies dreaming of where the coconut trees are greener, enjoy while watching an endless string of low budget holiday films.
