The nose offers a complex mix of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry with a hint of
typical peppery and dried herbs character. The spicy component is more expressive in
2021 than in the previous vintages. The palate is light to medium-bodied, juicy, fleshy,
fruity and herbal supported by gentle tannins and some mid-palate spark bringing
vibrancy to the wine. A shining Cabernet-Franc-like Blaufrankisch which is also an
amazing companion for many different types of food.
Suklje Classic is fresh, vibrant and juicy as we have crafted it for many years, with just a touch of modernity to soften the natural energy of this beautiful variety.
Grapes were hand harvested in 15 kg crates, fermented for 14 days on skins and
thereafter wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tank before being
aged in 4 to 5 years old barrique barrels and traditional big 2000l oval casks for a year. Wine is not filtered or fined.
