Kristalvin – Jakob Selekcija, 2018
I’m in the mood to discover other Kristalvin‘s wines. I’ve been intrigued with their Rebula Selection, so now it’s time to look at another one from the range. Today’s pick is their Jakob, or as you might have guessed, the…
Kristian Keber – Brda, 2017
The night calls for an artisanal, characterful wine produced in the old, artisanal ways. We’re in Brda’s village of Plešivo, where Kristian Keber crafts this archaic but pristine expression of the terroir in his only produced blend, simply named Brda….
Ščurek – Stara brajda white, 2016
Let’s look at one of the iconic wines from Brda today. This one was among the first iconic white blends that contributed to the greatness of modern Brda winemaking. We’re at Ščurek, sipping a glass of Stara Brajda white. A…

Ščurek – Jazbine, 2018
I’m in the mood for a wine that has been touched by oak. And Ščurek‘s Jazbine is the wine I’ll be indulging in tonight. A blend of Sauvignon vert, Rebula, Friualno and Sauvignon where 20 % of it matured in…
Brda – Krasno Orange, 2018
It’s time to take a look at a stylistic deviation from what Klet Brda is known for. It’s the first wine to be produced with prolonged skin contact. Therefore it has been baptised with the name Orange. Orange to refer…
Movia – Exto Gredič, 2019
