Tasting notes:
Top marks to Tesco for pushing the boat into unchartered territories and making a stand for quality wine from Slovenia. Produced up in the hills bordering Austria and Croatia, by a family owned company, who only set up 5 years ago, it’s a zesty, fruity delight, with mouth-popping freshness. The blend of internationally renowned Sauvignon, with the fresh, quirky, but undiscovered Furmint is very clever. This is really putting Slovenia back on the wine map, and I urge you to try it – zippy, zesty and lively as a spring lamb, it has a delightful green apple, and greengage freshness to it; it bounces around the palate with bursts of ripe gooseberries, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, a hint of fresh marjoram and a whack of freshly cut granny smith apple! Racy, vibrant, with a refreshing acidity, it will be a delight with crispy salads, pan-fried fish, seafood pasta, goat’s cheese and beetroot, and will also cope beautifully with Thai- inspired dishes. One for my fridge this winter!

Tasting notes:
There’s a real wine revival going on in Eastern Europe, with some new stars emerging. Slovenia is fast becoming recognized for producing superb, crisp, white wines, and this is one of them – if you like bright, zesty, Sauvignon, but want a lighter style than the more pungent New Zealand styles, this one’s for you. Perky and bright as a button, it’s brimming with crunchy green apple and fresh lemon fruit, with a squeeze of lively grapefruit freshness. Refreshing and zesty, at a delightfully light 11.5%, it’s a perfect or aperitif wine, and just the wine for refreshing seasonal salads, and herb-dusted pan-fried fish.
