Burja Estate

The Burja Estate connects a traditional Vipava winegrowing farm with modern understanding of wine. But aren’t the two the same? Don’t we want to recognize our roots, bases & flavors in wine & at the same time feel the soil & climate of the vineyards?

Description

Burja Bela 2020

Blend of 40% Malvasia, 30% Rebula, 20% Laški Rizling and 10% other indigenous varieties. The fruit comes from Burja Estate vineyards in Vipava Valley, Slovenia. The vineyards are treated according to the principles of biological and biodynamic production.

Taste profile: Burja Bela is an unfiltered and authentic Slovenian white wine. Golden yellow colour. Pleasant bouquet of white flowers, honey and ripe apricots. The dry and medium-bodied palate has a rich texture, lively streak of acidity and beautiful fruit taste. Ripe tropical and stone fruit flavours over a mineral backbone that extends into a long aftertaste.

Bright & Mineral Whites

From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
