Vipava 1894, Pinela “Lanthieri” v.2022, Vipava Valley, Slovenia 🇸🇮
Overview:
A dry white blend centered on Pinela, another indigenous Vipava Valley grape known for its lively acidity and citrus-driven profile. The wine reflects the region’s breezy valley climate and limestone-influenced soils.
Aromas & Flavors:
Quince, kumquat, citrus zest, white stone fruit, and subtle herbal freshness.
Mouthfeel:
Crisp, energetic, and refreshing with vibrant acidity and a clean, linear structure. The finish is bright and mineral-driven.
Food Pairings:
Mediterranean seafood platters, oysters, grilled shrimp, lemony pasta dishes.
Personal Pick:
One of those wines that instantly feels coastal and refreshing. Perfect for seafood and warm weather sipping.
Verdict:
Bright, citrusy, and vibrant. A great example of Slovenia’s lesser-known native varieties.

2023 fall. Lovely, with rich, autumnal scents developing on the nose and an open-knit structure. A bit of older Bordeaux character — 2 years ago
