Stekar - 'Emilio' Tocai
Notes from Importer: The 2021 Stekar Emilio is a premier white for the Štekar family, and takes its name from Jure’s great grandfather. Coming from a range of vineyards, this wine is a pure version of hand-harvested Sauvignonasse (used to be called Tocai) where it begins its natural fermentation in stainless steel with 7 days of skin-contact, and then is moved to old French barrels to continue, and also rests in the same barrels for 9 months before bottling with zero added sulfites for the entire process.
Full and deep on the palate with ripe fruit, herbs, and dynamic minerality, and the finish goes on for several minutes.
Think of elderflowers notes with refreshing flavors of peach, apricot and almond.
Pair this wine on the dinner table with a plethora of cuisines, from Asian dishes to seafood, white meat and cheeses.
