A fresh but textured expression of Sauvignon Blanc from marl-rich soils in Ritoznoj. Farmed without irrigation or herbicides, the grapes are hand harvested, with a small portion fermented on skins for added grip and structure. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeast and five months on fine lees in stainless steel builds depth while preserving brightness. The result is energetic and mineral, balancing vivid fruit with a lightly savory edge and bright acidity.

Tropical fruit, citrus zest, flint, fresh herbs, spice, saline minerality, light tannic grip, bright acid

The Producer

About Dorcha

Nestled in Ritoznoj, Štajerska, Dorcha embodies Izidor (Dorcha) Vehovar's innovative spirit as the third generation in his family's winemaking legacy. Embracing a fresh perspective, he charts a new, more approachable course. Eschewing conventional norms, Izidor follows the local tradition of crafting pure, vibrant wines. Inspired by insights from his neighbor Nick Gee of Heaps Good Wine Co., he infuses his family's tradition with modern flair, creating captivating wines naturally. Izidor, a dedicated yet unassuming winemaker, roams the wooded mountains of Pohorje, communing with nature and gathering local mushrooms, a specialty of NE Slovenia. In his cellar, he meticulously tends to his salumi and cured meats, a testament to his passion for artisanal craftsmanship. - Vinum
