Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant. The wines of the Bagueri Superior range are produced in western Slovenia, in the hilly landscape of Brda, an area bordering Italy, which benefits from unique soil and climate conditions that favor quality viticulture. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are sourced from terraced vineyards located in the Brda wine region at an altitude of 100-200 meters. The vines, between 10 and 20 years old, are rooted in clay and sandstone soils and benefit from a sub-Mediterranean climate, influenced by both cold Alpine winds and warm sea breezes. After harvest, vinification takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel. Most of the finished wine (80%) then ages in stainless steel for 12 months, and the remainder in French barriques, before blending and further aging in stainless steel. In the glass, the wine reveals a bright yellow color with golden highlights. Its aromatic profile shows great freshness with distinctive notes of citrus, cut grass, and green pepper, followed by aromas of melon and pear and hints of elderflower, on a mineral background. On the palate, it is lively and smooth, silky and crisp, with a medium body and a long, citrusy finish. It pairs deliciously with pesto pasta, chicken salads, or Thai seafood recipes.
