Santomas Antonius Refosk 2016

The full potential of the Refosk grape

Awarded a gold medal at the AWC Vienna and an impressive 91 points by Jeb Dunnuck.

The Refosk vines grow in the oldest vineyards of the Santomas estate. Hand-picked, table-selected grapes are fermented in open wooden fermenters for 2-3 weeks. As with the Antonius Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is aged in new 350-litre French oak barrels for 24 months.

In the glass, a deep ruby red with violet hues. The oily texture is already visible here. On the nose, ripe aromas reminiscent of cherries, sour cherries and blueberries. Followed by spicy notes, complex with a Mediterranean touch. On the palate, the Santomas Antonius Refosk is full-bodied and wonderfully dry. It is powerful, with round, large tannins and well-balanced acidity.

One of the best Refosk wines in Slovenia. Masterful.
