I am from: Stajerska, Slovenia
The story: From far off in space, we observed your little blue and green planet, spinning around your great yellow sun at unimaginable speed; well, at least they are unimaginable to you. And we realized that there was one special place on this planet with the perfect conditions to grow wine fit for the tastes of space: Stajerska, Slovenia.
Grapes as diverse as Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and even the hard-to-pronounce ones thrive in the harsh environment of these rocky hills. We have created three wines that truly give you the taste of the cosmos. Space juice, if you will.
And if you ever found yourself gazing up at the sky and asking: do aliens make wine? Now, you have your answer.
Why you'll love me: A light amber color with an aromatically rich nose of ripe golden apple, quince, sweet brown spice, and hints of honey. On the palate, the wine is round with flavors from the nose and a good minerality. The finish is smooth and lingering with highlighted notes of sweet brown spices.
