We’re absolutely in love with this wine. So elegant yet full of character and interest. There’s a lovely richness to the wine from the warm climate, yet cool winds temper that and ensure the wine remains balanced. Then there's the influence of the unique Flysch soil that imparts freshness and minerality.
Zelen is an extremely rare and almost, until recently, forgotten grape variety. It is found exclusively in the Vipava region, in Western Slovenia, where the grape is one of the few that can withstand the brutal winds of the region – the reason why young growers are re-discovering this rare variety.
The yields are naturally low, which means the few grapes the vines do produce are of outstanding quality and destined to produce wines of great complexity.
The earthy and mineral nature means they are great food wines. Try this with this mushroom tagliatelle.
