Vipavska Dolina Sivi Pinot - R

1st 🍊 🍷✔️

Perfect with Mediterranean magic

Love the briny savory watermelon flavors from it. Not too oxidative, pretty fun.

Bar Diane pour. Elegant and restrained orange

Delicious skin contact wine from Slovenia. One of my favorite producers from this region. Hints of watermelon, nice weight with some bright acid.

interesting honeysuckle/floral/lemongrass/perfumed nose, then round and bright on a palette layered with watermelon/pomegranate/dragonfruit/red currant/cherry fruits, a petricore mineral quality, a briny/savory character, and grilled lemon. also feels creamy and fat on the mid-palette, maybe from batonage, or maybe from partial malo. they did a hell of a job balancing structure and complexity with freshness. definitely interesting and fun. but also not cheap for a rosé; i paid $20 retail. near room temp it is too rich for me, but straight out of the fridge its layers are more balanced and refreshing. i prob wouldn't pick it again at that pricepoint, but it was a good experience to try it out.

Can you say orange wine?! A dry Pinot Grigio. Candied walnuts & crushed apples. Uniquely beautiful.

From Julie. 2018. Skin contact. A little heavy/thick texture but lovely
