The Brda - Collio region in Slovenia's far west is considered one of the most charming and scenic regions of the country. This area of gently rolling hills, occupied by picturesque villages and dotted with small churches, borders the Gorica plains to the east and rises from the Italian Friuli plains to the Korada ridge in the north. The soil of Brda - Collio consists of marl and sandstone in alternations. Since the hills are prone to erosion, most of the vineyards must be terraced. They are open towards the Adriatic Sea and take full advantage of about 2,900 hours of sunshine per year.

This wine matures first in mulberry & acacia barrels for one year and in large oak barrels for another year. It has a delicate variety of aromas, including melon, acacia blossoms, raisins, and dried apricots. Alcohol and acids are perfectly balanced, making it a great wine with a full-bodied and harmonious mouth feel. This mature wine is reminiscent of honey, vanilla, and hazelnuts.
