Pavlomir Žlahtina Grand Cru White Wine 0.75 l

The Grand Cru line shows Pavlomir's Žlahtina from its rich side. A deeper straw-yellow in the glass; on the nose open fruit with orange, mandarin and grapefruit, plus peach, apple, acacia blossom and a quiet herbal tone. Soft on the palate with ripe acidity; the fruit returns in the aftertaste with a hint of almond, and the finish is long and pleasantly bitter.

The Romans already called the valley “Vallis Vinearia” – valley of vineyards. After phylloxera, winegrowing here lay dormant for a long time; in 1994 Miroslav Palinkaš made a new start. Today Pavlomir tends about 31 hectares of vines, with special attention to the native Žlahtina.
