Location: Slovenia, Istria, Truške
Winemaker: Marinko Rodica
Grapes: Refošk
Soil: limestone
Winemaking: destemmed and macerated with the pulp and skins for up to 8 days; at the beginning of spontaneous fermentation the wine goes into stainless steel until fermentation is finished. Aged for 8 months in used French and Slovenian oak; then kept on the fine lees in stainless.
Refošk: Herbaceous aromas of forest floor and red berries; the palate is fresh, mineral with bright salted blueberry and leather flavors. Delicious with brisket, gumbo, and red curry.
From the Importer Vinum SloCro: In 1998, Marinko Rodica, a car mechanic by trade, decided to start a new chapter in his life and became a winemaker. 10 years later, in 2008 Rodica family winery had sixty thousand vines and was certified organic. The brand new environmentally friendly and energy efficient wine cellar was completed in 2012. None of this would be possible without Marinko’s vision and passion and the support of his entire family. Today, Rodica estate organically farms 15 hectars of vineyards, with most of them planted with Malvasia and Refošk.
