Vinification

The Fruka Gora hill runs approximately 80 kilometres east to west and its highest point is 539 meters. Its flanked to the north by the Danube River. Most of the hill lies within Serbias borders, but a tiny portion of the western end is in Croatia. Vineyard soils are multi-layered and full of minerals which provides robustness and complexity in the wines. On the surface the soil is alluvial. There are several layers of clay and limestone where plant roots reach fossilized segments of shell and coral deposited by Pannonian sea sediments.

100% Pinot Grigio that has been vinified with full skin contact.

Tasting Notes

Light old pink, silver reflections. Delicately nutty underlying red wild berry aromas, a hint of rosehip, nuances of fresh pear, strawberry confit in the background. Powerful, substantial, ripe pome fruit nuances, integrated acidity, lemony-salty nuances on the finish, mineral and taut, shows length and freshness, a lively food companion.

This is lovely with mackerel dishes or nutty cheeses.
