Region: Styria, Slovenia
Grape: a blend of Chardonnay, Kerner & Rizling
winemaker aci urbajs used to be an airplane engineer before he decided to go into winemaking - he believes winemaking is about finding the sweet sweet balance between chaos & order - giving us the name ‘organic anarchy’ - urbajs only has one (1!!!) hectare of vines perched in the styrian hills (mount rifnick, to be exact!) - his wines are famed & mythical & rare as rare can be - we were allotted just one of each of these very rare styrian beauties
this blend of white grapes spend 2 weeks on skins - ages for 12 months in barrel - bottled unfined/unfiltered - only 300 bottles produced
super rich & elegant, with heavy citrus & mineral on the palate, lots of apricot, earthy & mossy - honeyed texture - such a pure, balanced & energetic wine, it’s really hard to put into words just how special it is
