Zlati Grič is situated in the wine growing area Škalce, in the region of Slovenian Styria (Štajerska), on the southern tip of the Pohorje mountain range. For centuries vineyards here have been a part of the local landscape. Specific micro-climatic conditions, the terroir, and altitude form a favourable mix for growing fresh, aromatic, and elegant wines.
100% Blaufrankisch, and at 5g/L residual sugar, comparable to the allowable 4g/L in appellation Côtes de Provence. Great presence of flavour and again, a fine companion for bold food flavours, a particular favourite of ours for spicy dining, particularly Thai. The estate hooked us up with local artist Sara Filipovič to design a much-improved label – as a total package, this wine found quick favour among our crowded rosé offerings and we think represents cracking value and a distinct personality.
“Red cherry, white strawberry, tangerine, blood orange and a little spice. It’s a juicy citrus-laden wine, maybe a bit of fennel/liquorice character too, a light dusty texture, with a lively finish of good length. It maybe slightly off-dry, I could be wrong, it may just be ebullient fruit sweetness, but the wine is very fetching and good to drink. Also, it offers a different flavour profile to many rosé wines, which is a plus.” 91 points, Gary Walsh, Winefront
