Matic, Postopoma 2023

Stajerska is a hilly, predominantly white wine area in north-eastern Slovenia. It is here that Matija Žerjav - known as Matic to his friends - farms nine hectares of old, organic family vineyards and makes wine in a cellar dating back to 1852. “We work only with what nature gives us,” says Matic, “so no chemicals in our wines.” These are pure, vibrant, honest expressions of time and place from one of Slovenia’s most exciting young talents. Postopoma 2023 is made from a blend of 75% Kerner and 25% Riesling, fermented on skins for around 2 weeks. Nicely aromatic, it bursts with notes of baked apple, honey and ripe nectarine. Medium-bodied and with a good level of acidity which carries a nice citrussy finish. A great wine to pair with soft cheeses or shellfish.
