A biodynamic Slovenian white which is nicely delicate and minerally. Light green colour with yellow hues, brilliant. An aroma of Mediterranean herbs - bay, rosemary, thyme – combined with fruity and floral notes. A delicate, mineral wine with just the right balance of freshness and smoothness.

Grape VarietyZelen
Description
Zelen is a rare white grape variety only grown in this corner of western Slovenia and it makes crisp, dry and fresh wines. Everything at Zmago Petric's estate is done biodynamically and with as little intervention as possible. Hand harvesting is the rule as is spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts and after nine months on its lees it's bottled with minimal sulphur addition. With an almost green tinge it has aromas of mediterranean herbs among fruity and floral notes. On the palate it has a crisp minerality with just the right balance of freshness and smoothness. An excellent partner to seafood, pasta and vegetable dishes and equally good just by itself.
