2018 | VinaCuk | Modri Pinot

The wine is medium deep purple in color. The flower is medium highlighted, it smells of ripe strawberries, a bit of leather, it is a bit smoky - the classic nose of a beautiful ripe blue pinot. The medium-bodied and moderate-acid dry wine feels elegant and the texture is supple. The intensity of the taste in the mouth is just right, not too much, not too little. With a little more focus, I would be even more. A nice, elegant blue pinot. If the continuation is in this style, we have another winemaker in Slovenia who understands this demanding variety. Cap down, a nice surprise.

Producer Information

On the farm in the middle of the Vipava valley, which is the largest of the four coastal wine-growing regions, we take care of 40,000 vines on 9 hectares of vineyards, and we grow fruit and vegetables on the remaining 3 hectares. Sauvignon, green, yellow muscat, malvasia, pinot blanc, Riesling and chardonnay from whites and merlot, barbera cabernet sauvignon and pinot noir from red varieties are planted on flysch soils, mainly in southern locations. The more than 150-year-old cellar with wooden barrels proves that we have not been dealing with wine and viticulture since yesterday. We bottle varietal wines: yellow muscat, green, sauvignon, rosé and pinot noir, as well as the red variety otus cuvee red.
