GROWING

• 80% Chardonnay and 20% Tocai Friulano, hand-picked in baskets during the second half of September 2023

• Average vine age: around 30 years 
• Around 3–3.5 tons/hectare yield 
• Organic viticulture using copper and sulphur only when needed 

WINEMAKING

• Grapes are destemmed and transferred into oak vats 
• Around 10 days of skin maceration with no temperature control or added commercial yeasts 
• Manual punch-down performed about twice daily during fermentation 
• Aged in Slavonian oak casks (25–35 hl) for about 18 months, with malolactic fermentation 
• Bottled from March 2025 with a small addition of sulfites 
• Bottles rest in the cellar for at least a few months before release 

WHAT’S GOOD?

• Named after a nearby village. Part of the Line S. This wine is designed to be enjoyed at an earlier stage
• SLATNIK hits your senses with layers of exotic aromas. Starting with golden flowers, ripe peach, and apricot, following up with orange marmalade, resin, and alpine herbs.
• It moves between structure and freshness in one sip, with fine tannins and a saline mineral edge. Complex yet all pleasure
• Serving temperature: 13-15°C
