Rumeni Plavec, Muscat, Traminec, Žametna Črnina, Pinot Blanc, Riesling & Kraljevina, Lower Styria, Slovenia

The wine we imagine would be toasted in Midsommer as a blood moon rose high overhead. Keltis is a wonky & wildly wonderful Slovenian producer you should watch for. Winemaker Marijan speaks of how the wines carry life inside of them, vivid with their home terroir, and carrying the potential for aging and further development. As dictated by their philosophy, work with the wines is done at the time of the full moon, as the wine is at its peak and can fully express its potential. A blend of punchy rumeni plavec, boisterous muscat, floral traminec (gewurtz), ancient  Žametna Črnina, plushy pinot blanc, righteous riesling & harmoneous kraljevina. The ‘Zan White’ enjoys three days of maceration and aging in stainless steel to really help the aromatics be all they can be. Intoxicating nose-full, with pears, peaches, key lime, greek yoghurt with apricots and honey, soapy florals & crushed gravel minerality linking everything together. Enjoy honey roasted carrots, doused in sesame seeds and topped with fresh dill.
