Akord is an interesting sort, made of three white varieties - Traminer, Yellow Muscat and the local Kraljevina. Intense aroma, mature. At first it reminds us of a horsetail and the forest undergrowth. It does not act completely dry in the mouth, the tannins can be sensed. The aftertaste is long and surprisingly fruity.

The wine is a deeper amber color. The bouquet is more intense, quite unique, intertwined. We find smoke, honey, dried apricots, dried pears, a hint of balsamic notes and more to be found. In the mouth, the wine is very dry, medium-bodied, with nice ripe acids, a little bitter to the touch. It also shows a very unique character in the mouth, as it does not belong to any of the classic Chardonnay styles. With a longer aftertaste that says the wine is in full form at the moment. With character!After the harvest the most was left on maceration with the skins for 4 days (without temperature control, without added yeasts…), with which it extracted from the skins a large amount of additional substances and they ensure that wines will be long-lasting with great natural stability. One visual effect of maceration is also an intensive yellow colour, a little haziness and a possibility of sediments, because our wines are not filtered. During two-year maturation in big oak barrels the wine also did naturally the lactic fermentation (as do all our wines). After the bottling the wine was kept in the cellar for another 3 years, before we estimated that the wine is ready for market.In the cellar we do not change the characters of our wines, which means that we do not filter them, we do not clean them and we do not use any of modern oenological agents and methods, except raking, filling and adding a small quantity of sulphur (which we also write on the label).

Extremely harmonious cuvee of Malvasia, Klarnica and Rebula.The wine stays in contact with the skins for a month. Fermentation takes place spontaneously, according to the old Vipava custom of long macerations without temperature control, only the vessel is more modern, made of stainless steel. Further maturation takes place in barrels made of Makovec's acacia (robinia) trunks by the Kuzma cooperative.The wine has the color of old gold with shades of red, many tears or shit predict high extracts. The aroma is fruity, after very ripe apricots, melons, strawberries.Its warmth is expressed in the mouth, the nice balance between acid and alcohol is underlined by mature tannins, the aftertaste is adorned with honey notes. The wine is perfect in combination with wild shoots, grilled sardines, autumn pumpkin dishes or winter pork.The vineyards are located in the central part of the Vipava Valley, where the mild Mediterranean climate from the karst plateau and the harsher Notranjska-continental mix.The wines reflect the intertwining of tradition and newer approaches. The way it is processed, the sunny position and the modest marl soil make the wines unique.Contains sulfite.

Deep amber colours. The bouquet is emphasized, warm fruity notes reminiscent of seasoned apple compote, pears and dried apricots. The fruity character is enhanced by just the rightly matured tannins. Dry, strong wine of pleasant acids, where vanilla is dominant in the mouth, with a woody as well as a fruity presence. A beautifully evolved orange wine.

The wine is a deep amber color, so to speak, orange. At the beginning, rich notes of dried fruit, herbs and spices creep in on the nose with a slight restraint, but soon open. The taste of the wine is fresh, mineral and extremely rich, with a full body.It is an excellent harmonious wine that surprises with its rich taste and elegance and freshness, which makes it extremely drinkable and surprisingly suitable for pairing with dishes. This is a wine you will hear about many, many more times. I recommend personal wine to anyone who has ever wondered what a great white wine from an amphora is.I recommend the wine as a combination with good prosciutto, dry salami and seafood, especially grilled. I especially recommend wine with pasta with botarga.

The wine is a deep amber color. The bouquet is ripe, smelling of vanilla, honey, white flowers, raisins and wood. Very special.In the mouth, the wine is dry, strong-bodied, of lower acids, intense in taste, salty, tasty, harmonious, strong and warm. Style takes precedence over variety. If you are for something louder, this Malvasia will be just right. Nicely made, in very good shape.The wine already shows its rich aroma and elegance. By maturing in the bottle, however, it will only gain in softness and elegance over time. Therefore, properly fed, it can be left to age for up to fifteen years.

Deep amber color, slightly cloudy. At first we find tertiary notes, earth, smoke, wood, dried fruit. Nicely decorated, varied. Dry mouth, high acidity, rather tart, surprisingly light body in terms of fullness of taste. Fully ripe, in full form. Medium length. Very unique, good!After the harvest the maceration took place for 4 days (without temperature control, without added yeasts, without clarifications…) with which we allow that a large amount of substances from the skins go into most. Consequence is a very intensive yellow-orange colour with a small haziness and possible sediment which is a result of non-filtering. During two-year maturation in big oak barrels the wine also did naturally the lactic fermentation (as do all our wines). After the bottling the wine was kept in the cellar for another 3 years, before we estimated that the wine is ready for market.

The wine is crystal clear, the color is straw yellow with copper hues. On the nose it is mostly fruity with notes of green apple, but also with a bit of floral scents. In the mouth, the fruitiness is repeated, and the minerality is exposed, which also dominates the long and fresh aftertaste.

Macerated wine
Macerated or orange wines are a real hit among wines today – the thing that many are venturing into anew and the thing almost everyone (at least the adventurous ones) tries at wine tastings.
The popularity and, above all, the colour of orange wine is due to the maceration process, during which many components from the grape skins and stems leach into the must, which is why the flavour of orange wine is much richer than that of white wine. Orange wine also contains tannins, which some people miss in white wine. So, taking into account all this, how could it not be popular?
How does orange wine turn orange?
This is all due to maceration or a process in which slightly crushed grapes are soaked in their own juice. The procedure is well established in the production of red wine, but is only gaining popularity in the making of white wine.
For ordinary white wine, white grapes are immediately pressed, thus separating the grape juice from the skins and stalks. For orange wine, on the other hand, the grapes are not pressed immediately, but only gently crushed and then moved to a suitable container, where they soak together with the skins and the remains of the stalks from a few days to a year. During this time, the grape juice also ferments, surrounded by skins, seeds and stalks.
Due to the longer contact of the must with the grape skins or maceration, more tannins, dyes and other substances are extracted, with which the wine acquires natural protection, as well as an intense golden-yellow colour.
Macerated pinot gris, ribolla or welschriesling?
Orange, amber or macerated white wines – there are several terms, but they all mean the same thing. Orange or macerated white wines are produced from white varieties such as ribolla, pinot gris and welschriesling.
Orange wines have a slightly higher alcohol content on average, and when making your selection, you should also consider the duration of the maceration (shorter, up to 14-day-long maceration, can emphasise the varietal distinction, while with very long maceration in open tubs, varietal distinction can be lost and tertiary aromas gained) as well as the grape variety from which the wine is made. If you like the pinot gris variety, choose, for example, Pinot Gris Ambra, which is fragrant, almost fruity, with a gentle measure of balsamic notes, while the lovers of the noble kraljevina might prefer the Kraljevina Oranžno wine with an alcohol content of 14.5% and a deep amber colour. It is a dry, strong and pleasantly acidic wine, in which the predominant flavour is vanilla, along with some woody notes and a perceptible fruitiness.
Common questions
Which food pairs best with orange wine?
Orange wines are often described by experts as robust and daring wines, which is why they are usually chosen by wine connoisseurs with a refined taste. You will be able to detect in them everything from honey aromas of tropical berries, hazelnuts, apples, linseed oil, juniper, sourdough to dried orange peel and many other aromas that will at times awaken your taste buds, at other times shock them.
Orange wines are first and foremost complex wines. They often go well with dishes that pair better with white wines, but require fuller notes of red wines. These include spicy dishes, such as oriental specialities, fermented dishes and curries. Due to their astringency and phenolic content, they are suitable for many types of meat – from beef to fish.
How to serve orange wine?
According to the sommelier guidelines, orange wines should be served slightly warmer than white and only slightly cooler than red wines. The best temperature for proper tasting is around 12 °C (on warmer days you can chill them to a degree less).
Since orange wines are quite intense and have a very special flavour (especially if you are drinking them for the first time), wine experts like to joke that it is best to try your first orange wine while sitting down.
Is orange wine the right choice for you?
If you have never tried orange wine before and you are not sure if you will like it, a quote from winemaker Aleks Klinec should help you before tasting it:
“For those who are not used to orange wine, it can be a little strange and heavy at first taste. But it’s just like with jazz or Pink Floyd – it is not instantly appealing. You have to be prepared for it. But once you are hooked, there is no going back.”
