One of a trio of wines from the Slovenian winemaker, these are Matic’s first crack at making piquette, apparently, but the results are those of a seasoned pro! 100% Blaufränkisch. Unfined, unfiltered, and undisgorged (so take care in opening the crown cap –- don’t want to stain the curtains). Notes of dark cherry & berries, orange zest, pine.
