Matic Sauvignon Ya Yeh 2023

Wonderful natural wine-Sauvignon from the north of Slovenia

Matija Zerjav, simply called Matic, belongs to a young generation of winemakers in Slovenia who practice biodynamic cultivation methods out of deep conviction. On his 8-hectare estate in north-eastern Slovenia, just outside the city of Maribor, natural wines are produced that are aged spontaneously without the addition of pure yeasts. All wines are lovingly harvested and bottled by hand and hardly or not at all sulphurised.

Matic's Sauvignon Blanc is a true wine gem. It is aged on the skins in concrete eggs for a full 25 days. The grapes come from high vineyard slopes, the perfect location for full ripening. The Sauvignon Ya Yeh is a rich and full-bodied Sauvignon. The skin contact brings out full aromas and deep tropical notes. A light grapefruit note rounds off the natural wine, along with subtle notes of bread. The name Ya Yeh refers to the maturing of the wine in an egg-shaped vessel. A local nickname for eggs is jaja, pronounced ‘ya yeh’.
