Description

Each variety is macerated for 4 months at an uncontrolled temperature in clay amphorae.

The wines are then aged in used oak barrels for 12 months, followed by the typing of the varietal combinations as judged by the winemaker. It is bottled unfiltered and naturally clarified. It contains only 22 mg. of total sulphur.

The colour is deep amber. The bouquet is ripe but fresher than that of Malvasia, offering muscat and oriental notes. The wine is fully ripe and in very good shape. If you are a fan of orange wines, this is well placed.

Wine producer

Gordia

Gordia is the name of the area above Ankaran, where Andrej Čep has a tavern of the same name in the village of Kolomban.

He farms approximately 5ha of certified organic vineyards, mainly on lagoon soil. All the wines are produced without the use of oenological products, using only sulphur. Only indigenous yeasts are used for fermentations. The wines are produced without the use of oenological products, except sulphur, and bottled without filtration.

In the beginning, he mainly produced long macerated white wines, aged in barriques, but since 2019 more and more of his wines are aged in clay amphorae buried in the ground. He says that both white and red wines are more elegant.

Today, in addition to more structured wines, he also produces an excellent fresh Malvasia each year, as well as two five-nat sparkling wines.
