Made from local variety Zelen, indigenous to Slovenia, the juice macerates for 3 days with the grape skins, before aging in concrete for a short time. Very aromatic, it reminds us of Viognier, but fresher. Amber in colour, with a slight twist of tannin on the finish. Gastronomic and delicious.

The main wine regions aren't far from the Italian border, are situated on diverse and complex soil types, at moderate altitudes with a cool climate They've got all the necessary parts for fine wine production. Throw in indigenous grape varieties and a wine history of more than 500 years and it's almost strange that we DON'T know Slovenian wine better. Burja is one of the leading producers in the entire country, led by winemaker and scholar Primoz Lavrencic.

He is a true original, shining a light on varieties and regions that deserve their time in the sun.
