Better when room temperature
A bit of skin contact
Very tasty and enjoyable
Vitovska is underestimated

The 2017 Vitovska is decidedly savory and spicy, wafting up a beguiling display of sour apple, pear and lemon, complemented by hints of white pepper. It’s soft and almost fleshy upon entry, yet it quickly firms up through a display of brisk acids and minerals that nearly sizzle in the mouth. Inner florals dominate the finale, along with a tug of residual tension. The Skerlj Vitovska is fermented in oak vats for three weeks without temperature control before being moved to barrel for another twenty-four months. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2021)

Skin contact mono varietal. Deep amber and cloudy. Faint aroma of lemon peel. Palate of citrus, flowers and apricot. Strong acid structure and stony. Interesting stuff.

From a bottle that had been opened a couple days. Still bright and energetic. Hay, flowers, citrus, toasted nuts. Honeyed but fully dry.

Honeyed peach pit, some VA. Pleasantly tannic, typifies good orange wine.
