A minimal intervention blend that highlights Lower Styria's historic connection to Blaufränkisch, complemented by a touch of cool climate Syrah. The varieties are harvested and vinified separately, with spontaneous fermentation, 19 to 24 days of maceration, and 14 to 18 months of aging in used French oak before blending and bottling unfiltered. The result is a balanced red that combines vibrant fruit, spice, and freshness with the character of Lipoglav's steep hillside vineyards.

The Producer

About Sanctum

In the mid-12th century French Carthusian monks settled in this northeast region of Slovenia and planted it with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines. The Podkubovšek family, starting with Vlado and his son, Marko, has always cherished and been proud of this local heritage, hence the fact that all of their wines are made in a traditional style, where the vines and the microclimate speak for themselves. All of the grapes are strictly hand-picked on steep marl-rich slopes of up to 45°, and vinified with minimal intervention in the winemaking process. - Sanctum
