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 key to Angel White Reserve is the annual tasting of the entire wines dedicated to the Angel line. Those wines that achieve that “something extra” in the blind tasting become the basis for the final blending into the Angel White Rezerva genre. The latter wine is signed only by exceptional vintages.The Angel White Reserve range and its proportion has changed over the years. The only constant that unites the different vintages is the vitality of Angel White Reserve and its high elegance.

We dedicate the same amount of attention to this, in our homeland the most widespread white variety, as to previously described noble ones. Wines are complex, but thanks to salty minerality and juicy acidity, they are adorned with very pleasant freshness. Depending on the vintage however, we can feel more or less botrytis, sometimes also petroleum notes, spiciness or herbs. We feel apples, pears, apricots, and sometimes some of tropical fruits on the palate. Aftertaste is always nice and long.

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.

This now famous company is located in the heart of the Collio. Oslavia ridge that from the bridge of the Isonzo ascends towards San Floriano. It is about hectares of vineyards near the company headquarters and set on steep slopes. The treatment is reduced to the minimum necessary of natural products and therefore is not synthetic product, such as herbicides, systemic phytosanitary products, insecticides, synthetic fertilizers. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, stored in boxes and brought to the cellar. Fermentation occurs spontaneously only with the yeasts already present on the grapes. When the alcoholic fermentation ends, the peoples are more pushed up by the carbon dioxide that the fermentation produces and settles gradually on the bottom. The long macerations involve a greater extraction as well as the alcohol and for this reason.Golden yellow color with auburn highlights, the nose offers hints of fresh fruit but also dried fruit. The palate is broad, persistent and salty, slightly tannic, elegant and mineral, with hints of peach and apricot.

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.

Our white king, depending on the year, cen be a little more herbaceous or fruity on the nose, but the typical petroleum note in a tender form is always present. The body is usually big, but well balanced with juicy acidity and mineral notes. Fruitiness is usually quite ripe, sometimes our palates are caressed with dry apricot, often we also feel the aromas of ripe apple and pear. Salty minerality along with beautiful acidity, bring incredible freshness and a very long aftertaste.

Intensive yellow colour with hints of green and with a small haziness and possiblesediment which is a result of non-filtering. During two-year maturation in big oakbarrels the wine also did naturally the lactic fermentation (as do all their wines).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.

If the Riesling is the king, then the furmint is the Emperor of white wines. It is an old variety, typical for the area of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was highly appreciated already in Napoleon’s time. Today, it is mostly found in Hungary, and somewhat less in Slovenia and Austria. Our furmints are mineral on nose, you will feel dry herbs and slight petroleum notes. On the palate you will enjoy dried and tropical fruit, especially mango. Big body is balanced by juicy acidity and mineral component. Aftertaste is incredible, both in length and aromas.

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.

Pale yellow with green undertones. The nose is extremely complex; the scent of flowering hawthorn predominates, followed by fruit; passion pineapple, vine white peach and melon. The smell of real Istrian Malvasia. We can also smell the sweet smell of vanilla.In the mouth it is nicely rounded, of medium body. Pleasant fresh, fruity and crunchy. The aftertaste remains the taste of mandarins, melons, grapefruits and lemons with a hint of caramel. The wine is extremely mineral.

A wine of intensive golden-orange colour with onion-copper hues, as clear as the evening sun on a clear sky, announcing nice weather. On the nose it is explicitly mineral, a bit 'asphalty', with a clear graphite note and a selection of spices, from under which sensations of blossoming flowers and ripe fruits come to light. On the palate it is rich, buttery, salty, ripe, of barely there tannins and pleasant freshness, which softens the strength of the alcohol. The aftertaste is long, warm, and lavish, slightly buttery, but above all very persuasive.

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.”
