Stekar - Goriška Brda Malvazija
The Štekar family started with humble beginnings in the Goriška Brda zone of Slovenia back in 1985, when Roman Štekar began the winery alongside a small agriturismo. Today, his son Jure runs this lovely natural winery in the stunning hills of western Slovenia, being at least the 4th generation of winemakers but with family history dating back to the 1700’s.
The 2021 Malvazija is a uniquely beautiful wine from this estate, full of character and style from the Malvasia (locally Malvazija) grape. After a hand-harvesting from the young Pročno vineyard, and 7 days with skin contact in stainless steel, the must then finishes fermentation and 9 months of aging in used 400L acacia barrels in order to give extra structure and to aid in bringing out the floral components of the grape. There was no added sulfites used for the entire vinification process, and the finished wine is intense in the nose, with beautiful fruit tones, robust herbal quality, and even hints of acacia flower. It is fresh while very full-bodied, harmonious in alcohol and acidity, and overall very balanced and wonderful for drinking solo, or around a feast of charcuterie and cheeses.
