Burja Reddo 2022 organic wine

A vibrant, spicy, crisp red wine

The vines of Burja Reddo grow at an altitude of 150–220 metres and are still young at 6–9 years old. As with all of the winery's red wines, only about 0.8 kg per vine is harvested by hand. This results in about 30–40 hectolitres of wine. This attention to detail and reduction of quantity in the vineyard results in magnificent, natural red wines.

After spontaneous fermentation, the Burja Reddo matures for 18 months in large oak barrels and barriques before being bottled unfiltered. It consists of the regional Slovenian red wine variety Schioppettino, the well-known Blaufränkisch and the favourite of the Slovenians, the Refosk.

We clearly recognise the sour cherry in the aromas, which gives the Reddo a lot of freshness. A very lively red wine, which gets a perfect elegance and complexity from the pleasant tannins, in combination with further berry notes and light peppery notes. It strikes a wonderful balance between acidity, complexity and fruit. It is already very good now, but it also has excellent ageing potential.

Burja Reddo is a fine example of the art of Slovenian red winemaking.
