The Brut Réserve is a Slovenian sparkling wine produced with the greatest respect for the traditional Champagne method. The expertise of French winemaker, who has worked in major Champagne houses, let us develop a unique wine style in Slovenia with the use of reserve wine.
Made from grape varietals Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Žametna črnina (an endemic Slovenian varietal), Brut Réserve sparkling wine reveals year after year the subtle identity of terroir Dolenjska. But most importantly, Brut Réserve is a wine that perfectly combines power, finesse, and elegance, which are the cornerstones of house style.
On the nose, this wine exudes aromas of citrus fruit and ripe pear coming from the Chardonnay. On the palate, the attack is straight and accurate, followed by a bright freshness. The Pinot Noir then comes in with its exquisite volume and smoothness. The finish is complex and elegant, thanks to the kindness of the reserve wines.

Brut Rosé has been one of the best winemaking experiences for our French winemaker. The local grape variety “Žametna črnina” (“velvety black”) was a complete unknown to him before arriving in Slovenia. But after examining it, he quickly saw its sparkling potential. Still, when he started the elaboration of a sparkling rosé from this variety in 2012, he did not expect the result to be so intensely fruity and elegant at once. The minimum 15 months aging on lees in the bottle confirmed the winemaker’s firsts impressions and gave this wine its full personality and creaminess in the mouth.With its delicate pink color with violet hues, Brut Rosé is distinguished by its intense aromas of fresh red fruit reminiscent of the pomegranate. On the palate, it is remarkably elegant and extremely fresh with a characteristic touch of gooseberries. Thanks to its light dosage, the finish is delicate and “gourmand”.

“Blanc de Blancs” is a nod to the origins of winemaker. In his native Champagne, this denomination is used for wines that are elaborated exclusively from chardonnay.This noble variety is also a sponge of the terroir, and our cuvée is the perfect example of this. All grapes come exclusively from our Pesce lot, where our chardonnays grow on flysch. This sedimentary rock (it consists of alternating sandstone and calcium-rich marl) is very crumbly and therefore suitable for Chardonnay’s deep roots exploration. This gives Chardonnay a unique force and style, which expresses itself gradually during the 40 months it spends on lees in our cellar.TASTING NOTESHawthorn, citrus, and ripe pineapple dominate the first nose. As the wine warms up in the glass, this chardonnay subtly develops its fullness and complexity. In the mouth, the wine opens on Viennese pastries and slightly toasted milk toffee and finishes on jelly quince. The finish is rich, vinous, and precise.

Very tiny bubbles with many spark chains confirm that this is a classic method of production. The first fragrant impression brings connoisseur finesse, a standout mineral and a characteristic note of brioche. Moderate acidity is in line with fashion guidelines. This is a real "brut" because the ratio of acidity to sweetness is ideally balanced so that the properties of very dry sparkling wine are preserved.Sugar level: brut - very dry.Produced by traditional method.
