Cultus Red 2017

Kräftiger, tiefer Rotwein aus Slowenien - Bravo!

In Cultus Red by Matej Žvanut, we have added an extraordinary red wine cuvée from the Vipava Valley 2019 to our range.

The wines of the Cultus winery are made according to traditional craftsmanship, handpicked in order to preserve nature in the vineyards. Wine and nature are one. Cultus has the oldest wine cellar in the Vipava Valley from 1683 and a correspondingly long family tradition in viticulture. The Cultus Red matures in barriques for 18-20 months, depending on the vintage, before it comes to the bottle after a final period in the stainless steel tank. In the glass it shows dark ruby ​​red with beautiful reflections. In the Bouqet we come across a force that is more familiar from more southern regions. Incredibly intense berry notes, plums and blueberries. In the mouth it is also powerful, spicy, with pleasant tannins and fresh acidity.

This combination of strength and fruit at a good price from Slovenia is our recommendation for lovers of intense red wines.
