About this wine

Zavec Brothers is a small family estate in Slovenia's Vipava Valley, where Mediterranean warmth meets Alpine air and the powerful Burja wind, drawing on this unique interplay of climates to make wines of genuine character and distinctiveness.

The 2024 Blaufränkisch is well-structured and medium-bodied, with dark cherry, wild berry and a lively note of white pepper. The palate is fresh and vibrant with fine tannins and a clean, persistent finish that speaks of the valley's altitude and the Burja's cooling influence. An excellent red for lamb, grilled meats and tomato-based pasta dishes.

About the producer

Zavec Brothers is a small Slovenian estate in the Vipava Valley, one of Central Europe's most exciting emerging wine regions. The Vipava Valley's unique combination of the Adriatic and Alpine climates, ancient autochthonous grape varieties including Zelen and Pinela, and the Bora wind creates wines of vivid freshness and genuine distinctiveness.
