Winery: Guerila (biodynamic, vegan)
Established: 2005
Location: Ajdovscina, Vipava Valley, Primorska Region
Winemaker: This young winery is run by Zmagoslav Petric, assisted by cellar master Martin Gruzovin. They primarily choose local grape varieties and apply a biodynamic approach both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The locations of the vineyards have been carefully selected. The soil consists of a mix of sand, sandstone, marl, limestone, and clay. This results in the characteristic mineral notes of their wines.
Wine type: Dry orange – 100% rebula – 12% alcohol
Vinification: Manually harvested grapes with careful selection in the vineyard. The crushed grapes are macerated (skin contact) for 45 days. Spontaneous fermentation with yeasts present. Then pressing and 2 years of aging the wine in old oak barrels. Bottled according to the Maria Thun lunar calendar, with no filtering and minimal addition of sulfite.
Tasting profile: The wine has a deep amber color. The nose is complex and rich, with aromas of dried flowers, herbs, dried fruit, honey and a touch of balsamic. The powerful structure makes this a wine with storage potential. A rich, full-bodied, mineral and elegant wine.
Food pairing: Can be poured with rich veal and pork preparations as well as cheeses (especially aged cheeses).
