An excellent discovery, and an interesting contrast to its Friulian counterparts.

Bouquet is aromatic and fruity but nothing too distinctive maybe subtle hints of pineapple.. very nice citrus body .. well balanced... with a long finish but unfortunately ends with a tart/sour taste .. interesting varietal combination though...and I think maybe adding Riey wasn't a good idea .. it smells like a Riesling .. you feel that viscosity and anticipate that sweet taste is coming but end up with tartness... I guess not all natural wines are good!!!

I have no idea how to describe wine other than by saying things like "it's dry" and "wow". This hits the mark.

Unusual and good. Possibly the most tannic Pinot I've ever had. If I had this blind I'd guess Nebbiolo. I like it.

Vonj po višnji motna barva vina. Dolg pookus po pana coti. Odlično.

Slovenian orange wine! 33% Malvasia, 33% robolla, 33% weisreisling/ Reisling Italia... A really cool wine, with exotic flavors or cardigan, citrus, hazelnut. Balanced acidity, and well integrated primary aromas.
