Kabaj Sivi Pinot 2019

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.

Sivi Pinot is the Slovenian term for Pinot Gris, which in most instances, undergoes skin-contact, and is made in a Ramato style. This is the case here, showcasing the nuanced character of Pinot Gris through extended skin contact. Golden amber in hue, this wine reveals a layered nose of dried apricot, orange zest, and a touch of chamomile. The palate is textured and vibrant, with notes of candied citrus, spiced pear, and subtle almond, supported by a finely integrated tannic structure and lively acidity. Aged in French oak for depth and complexity, it finishes with a clean, herbal flourish and remarkable persistence. A compelling choice for those seeking a sophisticated and unique orange wine.
