2024 Dorcha Sauvignon Blanc Pet Nat Štajerska Slovenia

Winemaker Notes:   At last, the Štajerska Sauvignon Pet Nat we’ve all been waiting for! Showcasing what Sauvignon Blanc from this region can offer in a fun and fizzy form —- fully harnessing the tremendous aromatics captured by the wind-rich hilly vineyards, zesty minerality from the marl soils, and power from the steep sloped exposure. Exploding aromatically with green and tropical fruits – lime and grapefruit zest lead into an electric palate of fresh kiwi, lemon preserves and white grapefruit. This fizz drinks dangerously easy and has enough depth and vivacity to please your senses any time of year.

Located in Ritoznoj in Štajerska, Dorcha is the brainchild of Izidor (Dorcha) Vehovar. He is the 3rd generation of his family to continue the path of viticulture and winemaking, and is intent on a new direction, a friendlier path. A farmer without a conventional view of wine production, a winemaker who is following the local tradition of producing pure, vibrant wines. Gaining from some fresh perspective from his relatively-new neighbor in the village (Nick Gee, Heaps Good Wine Co.), he is now adding to his family's tradition by making exciting wines and made naturally with a modern twist.
