This wine has an intense amber colour with a slight greenish tint. Varied aroma offers a mixture of dried fruits (apricots, figs, raisins) and dried herbs, which are complemented with honey, caramel and almonds wrapped in a note of smoke. Notes of dried fruits are caught in a slightly oily texture and are continued in a slightly spicy aftertaste. Lively but mature acidity is nicely complemented with residual sugar and gives the wineits pleasant freshness.What happened in 1974?After the excellent harvest of 1971, it was not until 1974 that another archive wine was produced. Despite this, the 1974 Furmint Trocken Beeren Auslese, not of a classic vintage, stood out as a truly exceptional wine.

This wine has a lemony-yellow colour with a slight greenish tint. The aroma exudes notes of dried herbs, blossom, quince and apples. Dried fruits can also be recognised in the background. The taste is sweet with mature acidity, hints of dried figs and apricots, as well as spices and apples. The aftertaste is medium-long and accompanied by dried fruits and spices.What happened in 1987?This was a relatively dry vintage. The proper level of humidity afforded by the microclimate in the vineyard (humid nights and morning mists), enabled the welcome growth of noble rot, which starts to develop above sugar level 70°Oe. The vintage of 1987 perfectly illustrates the importance of a ‘healthy’ microclimate. The grapes, which are slightly wind-dried, contain concentrated sugar, acid and extracts. The wines of 1987, together with those of the previous year, proved to be of exceptional quality with a distinctive character. As far as quantity and quality were concerned, the vintage of 1987 was above average. This was also the year that the company picked Welschriesling grapes on 6th January, which is known in Slovenia as ‘Vino treh kraljev’ (Epiphany).

Archival wine
If we had to describe archival wines with three characteristics, we would choose: tradition, superior quality and respect for history. Regardless of whether you choose traminer, Rhine riesling, sauvignon, pinot blanc or bouvier from our rich offer, you will always choose an excellent drop of the precious heritage of the Slovenian winegrowing area.
And if you still have concerns about buying an archival wine, don’t forget: the compliment that someone ages like fine wine didn’t take hold without reason.
Ljutomerčan as the main representative of Slovenian archival wines
Traminer, as the only representative with a semi-sweet label and an alcohol content of 11.5%, belongs to the golden generation of 1960. Semi-dry Rhine riesling is a mature white wine harvested in 1969. Sauvignon, a semi-dry mature white wine with the lowest alcohol content (11%), is the oldest archival wine on offer, while bouvier (late harvest) with the same alcohol level is the youngest (1983). Pinot blanc cuvée was harvested in 1970 and has a gold alcohol content of 11.5%.
All archival wines originate from the winegrowing area of Styria and all of them are distinguished by prestige, tradition and the speciality of aromatics and appearance, characteristic only of archival wines.
Archival wine – wine for truly special occasions
When tasting archival wine (and ultimately also looking at it), we must take into account its particularity: the colour of archival wine changes continuously over the years, and thus some wines acquire beautiful rustic shades of gold, sometimes even shades of old gold or amber. Due to ageing, sometimes even their aromatics change completely.
And most importantly: according to experts, wine only begins to develop certain aromatic notes after a certain time – the so-called tertiary aromas, which at the beginning (before ageing) cannot be detected at all (scent of tobacco, cigars, leather, leaves, earth, etc).
Common questions
Which food pairs best with archival wine?
If once it was considered that archival wines are not the most suitable for pairing with fine cuisine, today such thinking is only a distant memory. Quality archival wines, with their unique aged aroma, pair extremely well with fine cuisine, but it is true that due to the intensity of their notes and aromas, they are not suitable for all dishes and occasions. What you pair wine with also depends on the characteristics of the wine itself, but do not forget to take into account the special aromas that archival wines develop due to their age.
How to serve archival wine?
Archival wine should be poured into a decanter before serving, taking care to keep the sediment in the bottle. We suggest that you let the wine sit for a few hours so that it aerates and the remaining sediment settles as much as possible. You know the golden rule of archival wine, don’t you? “Don’t rush it.”
An invaluable advantage of archival wines is that it forces us to take time to enjoy it – from the moment we bring it from the dark cellar, where it rested for many years, to the moment we allow it to breathe, all the way to the last step, which is the culmination of the tasting: when we swirl it in a suitable glass, we smell it and slowly bring it to our mouths for the first time with excitement.
Where to store archival wine?
Special wine requires special storage. In this case, temperature and humidity are the most important. The optimum temperature is between 12 and 15 °C, and the humidity should not be less than 50 percent if we do not want the corks to dry.
If you do not have a suitable space at home, you can use a wine cooler for storage, but if you store it in the pantry, keep in mind the most important condition: the temperature should not change constantly and should not exceed 20 °C. Also pay attention to the light and limit it as much as possible. Additionally, keep the bottles in a horizontal position to keep the cork moist.
Which glasses to use for archival wine?
For archival wines, we use glasses with the largest volume, which are slightly narrowed at the top so that the aromas can mingle. The glasses are usually in the shape of a halved apple.
When to serve archival wine?
Archival wines are wines for special occasions, but these do not necessarily occur only once every few years or only a few times in a lifetime. When the occasion calls for it, allow yourself to enjoy everything that only archival wine can offer you. For all other occasions, choose a quality traditional white wine, the increasingly popular rosé or a just as special macerated wine. But most importantly, take your time while enjoying your chosen wine – and cheers!
