Verus Pinot Gris

Country: Slovenia Region: Styria

Varietal: Pinot Gris Vintage: 2023

Category: White Wine Style: Dry

It is no exaggeration to say that the Verus wines, which we tasted for the first time six years ago, are truly outstanding – probably some of the most exciting whites we have tasted in a long, long time

A project started in 2007 by 3 friends. The 12 hectare vineyards are located around Oroz in the appellation of Styria (Stajerska) on the Jeruzalem-Ormoz hills close to the Hungarian-Croatian borders. The cool climate here is influenced by the Alps, the Adriatic Sea and the Pannonian Plain.

"This is one of the finest examples of Pinot Gris that I have tasted in quite a while – a wonderful fresh exotic nose with melons, grapefruit and ginger. The palate is medium-bodied and intense, with a superb quality of fruit, balanced by excellent acidity. Great on its own, with salads or with richer fish dishes."
John Wilson- The Irish Times

Tasting Notes:
Fresh pear, gentle spices and citrus flavours on the nose. Soft acid, stone fruit character and minerality on the palate.

Food Suggestion: Enjoy with creamy pasta, seafood or even white meats.
