The 2018 Gordia red<\/a> offers an Istrian blend of the Bordeaux region (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot) and the Southern Rhone (Syrah\/Shiraz). Currently one of the best Slovenian red wines. Full body. Black berries, sour cherry, wild strawberry, prune. Some tertiary flavours – dark chocolate, tobacco. The acidity and minerality are high enough to perfectly balance the relatively high alcohol level, which would have been significantly lower in a blind tasting. The aftertaste is exceptional and endless. Wine for hedonists.<\/p>\n

Andrej and Tina Cep<\/h5>\n
Andrej and Tina Cep planted the first vineyards in Kolomban above Ankaran in 2004. From the very beginning, the vineyards have been worked without the use of chemical inputs such as pesticides, herbicides, systemics and fertilisers. Only sulphur and copper are used for spraying – in very moderate quantities – “I didn’t know any other way”, says the farmer, “because I was not burdened by the practices of my predecessors”. Andrej didn’t even know about the organic certification at the beginning, and only found out about it when he started to appear at wine events in Slovenia and abroad. The farm has been officially certified as organic since 2012. They are currently cultivating three and a half hectares of vineyards, with the ambition to increase this to five, for which they have already prepared the land next to the existing vineyards.<\/span><\/div>\n

Vineyards and winemaking<\/h5>\n
\n
Seventy percent of the vineyards are Malvasia, with a small amount of yellow Muscat, grey Pinot and Chardonnay, which Gordia cannot imagine a good sparkling wine without. Red accounts for about 25%. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and riesling usually go together in the bottle. It was only with the 2016 vintage that Andrej made varietal refo\u0161kis for the first time, and the grape became classically Bordeaux.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

For sparkling wines and fresh Malvasia, the harvest is usually finished in mid-August, thus preserving freshness. For other wines, the harvest takes place a few weeks later, but certainly as soon as the grapes have reached the appropriate phenolic ripeness. Cep avoids excessive alcohols, thus maintaining a balance between body, complexity and freshness, even in long macerated white wines. The grapes are selected very carefully during the harvest itself. Once in the cellar, the grapes are split, crushed and slowly and gently pressed for sparkling and fresh wines. For the macerations (white and red), the crushed grapes from the 2019 vintage onwards go to the Georgian kvevriyas, where both fermentations and macerations of varying lengths take place. After pressing, the wine is returned to the vats for further ageing. Previously, after pressing, it was bottled in wooden casks, which Andrej seems to be abandoning completely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
