Tasting notes

Bright amber or deep golden colour with an intense, almost copper hue due to the skin maceration. The nose is aromatic and layered, offering a complex bouquet of dried fruits like apricot and peach, with a touch of citrus peel and orange zest. There’s a slight earthy, herbal note, along with hints of honey, almonds, and a faint spice, such as cinnamon or clove. The wine has a rich, full-bodied texture with a pronounced tannic grip, typical of orange wines. Flavors of ripe stone fruits like apricot and white peach are complemented by a touch of orange peel, ginger, and a slight nuttiness. The wine also has a minerally edge and a delicate bitterness, which adds to its depth and complexity. The finish is long and dry, with a lingering fruitiness balanced by a subtle, refreshing acidity and a faint herbal note.

About this wine

Zavec Brothers craft distinctive orange wines from the Furmint grape in Slovenia's renowned Štajerska region, a area celebrated for producing some of Central Europe's most expressive white wines. Their approach to winemaking emphasizes natural fermentation and extended skin contact, a technique that defines the orange wine category and creates wines of pronounced intensity and complexity.

This Furmint orange wine showcases the characteristic herbaceous and spicy notes that define the style, balanced by citrus and stone fruit aromatics with an earthy undertone. The 12.5% ABV reflects the wine's elegant restraint and food-friendly nature. Its versatility at the table makes it an exceptional choice for shellfish and lobster dishes, grilled vegetables, lamb preparations, and cheese boards featuring both goat and hard varieties. The wine's aromatic profile also complements herb-forward cuisine and charcuterie selections, making it a sophisticated addition to fine dining and entertaining in sophisticated settings.
