Tasting Notes: The Dorcha labels represent the key natural variables for making minimal intervention wine, with Sauvignon Blanc's label being an ode to the soils: marl-rich soils of Ritoznoj in Štajerska. Sauvignon Blanc in Štajerska (and Styria, as a whole) is one of the most exciting expressions of the varietal in the world right now, as Izidor’s Sauvignon shows. It delivers so much energy in the varietal, with vivacity, lively minerality but accompanied with intense exotic fruits. Golden in color popping with rich tropical fruits, mixed with some notes of flint and spice; On the palate is equally fruit and mineral driven, with vibrant fruits on the palate, a little grip on the end from the maceration and a beaming acid finish.

Farming: No irrigation. No herbicide. Environmentally friendly and sustainable viticulture, with respect for the land. 

Vinification: Hand-picked. 15% macerated on skins for the duration of the ferment. 85% pressed directly. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeast. Aging on fine lees in inox for 5 months.
