2021 | Burja Estate | Burja Bela

The texture of Burja Bela is uniquely oily. It lines the entire mouth and lets the wine last for a long time. Aromas of citrus, apricots, fruit compote. Light vanilla and herb aromas. Very pleasant tannins.

Producer Information

Burja Estate was born in 2009 when some old vineyards were given to Primož Lavrenčič as a family inheritance. The idea of the new estate was to connect a traditional Vipava winegrowing culture with modern understanding of wine. Vipava is having one of the oldest documented traditions of extended skin maceration – local priest Matija Vertovec wrote Vinoreja za Slovence (Winemaking for Slovenians) in 1844, talks about “the old Vipava method” of using a week’s skin contact for white grapes. The farm is over 9 hectares of densely planted vineyards now, with almost all the vineyards exposed to the east. Only the local grape varieties are grown: Rebula, Malvazija, Laški Rizling, Zelen, Refošk, Pokalca, Frankinja. In addition, they grow 1.20 ha of Pinot Noir.
