2022 Zajc Cviček Pet-Nat Dolenjska Slovenia

Winemaker Notes: After 2-4 days of skin maceration under controlled temperature, the wine is fermented separately with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks, and then blended and bottled with no added sulfur and allowed to start secondary fermentation naturally in the bottle. As Cviček has become a go-to refreshing red/white blend for most, the transition felt natural for the Zajc brothers to make a fizzy format for a fun and festive bubbly expression of Cvicek. Exploding with tangy forest berries, a fresh and mouthwatering palate with a brisk and super dry finish. This wine is the ultimate refresher - serve well-chilled and share with friends, Perfect for heavy aperitivo time, beach days, or extended late-night hangs .
