Korenika & Moskon ‘Sulne’ Amber Wine
Slovenian winery Korenika & Moškon is family-owned and located in Korte, a village in the heart of Slovenian Istria. The estate is nestled two miles from the Adriatic Sea, with 25 hectares of vineyards and 2.5 hectares of olive trees, all certified organic and Demeter biodynamic. Vineyards are hand harvested at full ripeness. They continue to practice traditional wine production methods with great passion and commitment. Skin contact maceration and barrel aging are tradition and continue to be important for this family winery.
Sulne 2011 is a skin contact cuvee of Malvazija Istarska, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Dark amber color.

The wine was bottled without filtration or stabilization.
