Šipon / Furmint
2023 winter was mild, with almost no snow. Spring was cold and wet. Flowering started rather late on the 10st of June in warm, nice weather. Summer was rainy with several storms. On the 4th of August catastrophic floods hit central part of the country. Maintaining the grape health was extremely challenging. Warm summer after the 10th of August allowed for a more relaxed continuation. Harvest started on the 10th of September and finished on the first week of October. We obtained extremely drinkable wines with a slightly lower alcohol level, aromatic and with a well- expressed varietal character. We can talk about a very good, typical vintage for Štajerska Slovenija.
