Kabaj Luisa 2013

The Kabaj estate, nestled in the rolling hills of Goriška Brda, Slovenia, has been crafting some of the country’s most celebrated wines since the early 1990s. This unique region, marked by a temperate climate, consistently yields wines that are dry, balanced, and often shaped by skin contact during fermentation.

Luisa sees 30 days of skin-contact. The wine shows a deep amber hue, with aromas of leatherwood honey, toffee, dried violets, and cultured butter. On the palate, it is dry and robust, with a strong structure that remains intact. While the fruit character has mellowed, it lingers subtly. Warm and fully matured, this is a wine to savour, in the largest glasses available. Again, Kabaj prefers these wines to be drunk at or just below room temperature for maximum enjoyment.
