Refošk Modra Les 2016 - Matured Refošk from a Barrique Barrel

Refošk Modra Les 2016 It comes from the sunny south-western vineyards near Manžan. The grapes were left on the vine for a longer time, and some of the berries began to dry naturally, which has added concentration, deep colour, and ripe fruitiness to the wine.

Long maceration and ageing

Fermentation took place spontaneously at natural temperatures, while maceration lasted for 30 days. The wine matured for two years in stainless steel on fine lees, and then for another two years in oak barrique barrels.

In a glass

The colour is an intense ruby, almost black, with a violet hue. The aroma is reminiscent of blackberry, blueberry, and ripe cherry, intertwined with a gentle woody scent. The taste is full and smooth, with fruity freshness, pleasant tannins, and a medium-long finish.

To the table

It pairs well with cured meats, red meat, grilled dishes, stews, darker sauces and aged cheese.
