Vrbanjka 2017 shows depth and density with complex aromas going from spicy notes of white pepper and nutmeg to fruity aromas reminiscent of raspberry, blueberry, blackberry and underlying hints of dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied, deep and fresh at the same time with a very long finish. Tannins are still quite firm but the wine is already enjoyable. Elegance, complexity, power, finesse and freshness in the glass. It is a wine built for a long ageing. Drink between 2020 and 2032.
Single vineyard wine. Grapes for this wine are harvested only from the steepest part of the vineyard, where the growth is regulated by poor, dry stony/marly soils with high proportion of limestone. Poor growing conditions results in small berries, small bunches and low yields what in turn brings concentration and complexity to the wines. Grapes are hand harvested in 15 kg crates, destemmed and whole berry fermented in open vats with 25 days of skin contact. After pressing into stainless steel tank to ensure that ferments are dry and to perform malolactic fermentation, the wine is kept in a second fill French oak barrique barrels and 500 l barrels for 12 months. Wine is not filtered nor fined.
Contains sulfites.

Modra frankinja Vrbanjka
100% Blaufränkisch selected from the mid-slope of our Plešivica terroir, where the marly soil is the stoniest and the shallowest giving depth, complexity and elegance to the wine. A real “Cru” and a true expression of what’s the best terroirs of Bela Krajina region can offer.

Deep golden yellow (sunny) color. The intense aroma is elegant and complex. It is reminiscent of very ripe exotic fruits with a touch of pear and quince.
