Gewürztraminer, berry selection

Sommelier Review
“An extraordinary, top-tier wine. Deep gold in color, leaning toward rich amber. Intense and alluring aromatics paired with a sweet, dense, and concentrated palate. The nose reveals a complex tapestry of dried citrus peels—orange and lime—apricot jam, honeyed undertones, and noble hints of botrytis. On the palate, beyond its richness and sweetness, vibrant acidity slices through the nectar, providing a fantastic counterweight and sustaining a finish that lingers for minutes after every sip.”

— Saša Špiranec, Jutarnji list

Our 2018 Gewürztraminer Berry Selection (Traminac mirisni) may very well be our final vintage in this prestigious category due to shifting climate patterns.

As a Prädikat wine of special distinction, it is crafted exclusively from dried berries left lingering on the vine late into the season to accumulate exceptionally high natural sugars. Producing a wine of this nature is a high-stakes gamble with an uncertain outcome right up to the harvest. Quantitatively, it yields roughly 15 times less liquid than a standard harvest, making its crafting a costly labor of love.

Built to evolve gracefully for decades, this rare bottle comes packaged in a custom decorative wooden gift box.

Awards & Recognition:

  • Decanter World Wine Awards: Awarded a stellar Silver Medal with 92 Points—a silver with a golden luster—in one of the top quality brackets for fine wines in the £30–£60 price tier.
  • Pomurje Wine Fair (Pomurski sejem) 2024: Honored with the Grand Gold Medal (Velika zlatna medalja) as the highest-scoring international wine of the competition.

Serving Recommendations: We recommend serving this wine chilled as an exquisite celebratory aperitif, or savoring it on its own as a liquid dessert in place of pastry.
