A skin contact Pinot Grigio from steep marl slopes in the Vipava Valley, farmed organically without irrigation. The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed, and fermented spontaneously in stainless steel and acacia, with about a week of maceration on skins. Aging in both steel and acacia adds texture while keeping the wine lifted and savory. Bottled unfiltered, it shows a balance of gentle tannin, bright fruit, and earthy depth.

Wild strawberry, red cherry, orange peel, dried herbs, baking spice, light tannin, savory finish

The Producer

About Mansus

High above the Vipava Valley, Mansus is a small family project from the Makovec family, farming steep hillside vineyards in the village of Brje. Up here, warm Mediterranean air meets cooler continental winds from the Karst Plateau, creating a natural balance in the vines.

The vineyards are farmed organically, and the cellar work stays hands off. All wines ferment with native yeasts only, with no additives or shortcuts. Mansus is also among the few producers working with Klarnica, a rare indigenous grape native to Vipava, helping preserve the region’s wine heritage.

The wines are quietly expressive and textural, with freshness, gentle grip, and a clear sense of place. They are not flashy, just honest, naturally made wines that feel rooted in where they come from.
