Kamnik Terroir Vranec Grand Reserva

Dry red wine - Full & Round - Powerful & Rich - Complex

Only 4,650 bottles. Awarded best wine of Central & Eastern Europe. This is no ordinary Vranec.

Taste Intensely fruity with blackcurrants, blueberries and plums, a hint of mint and extreme liveliness on the nose. After 20 months of ageing in new American oak barrels, an exceptionally rich flavour of berry purée develops with a layer of dark chocolate. Harmonious acidity, silky tannins and a complex bouquet — a wine with the potential to cellar for more than 10 years.

Vineyard A 14-year-old vineyard of just 1.2 hectares, planted with 5,500 vines per hectare in the Vardar River Valley. Perfect sun exposure, exceptional soil conditions and a unique microclimate — a benchmark for world-class wines.

By hand, always Pruning, leaf stripping, cluster thinning and the harvest — all by hand. Each section is harvested separately at the moment of optimal ripeness.

Vinification Classic fermentation in a 5-tonne oak vat, with a hi-tech punch-down tool and pump-over system. Followed by extended maceration for maximum extraction of colour, structure and aromatic depth.

The grape & the process Made from lightly dried Vranec grapes — the grapes partially dry naturally on the vine, adding extra concentration and richness. Dark ruby red colour with excellent liveliness and fine viscosity.

Ageing 20 months in new American oak barrels, under strict humidity and temperature conditions. Decanting recommended.

Cellaring Can be kept for more than 10 years. A true cellar gem.
