Slovenia...wott?...Slovenia...Eh?...S-L-O-V-E-N-I-A. Up the east coast of Italy and turn right. From an inland terraced vineyard around Jeruzalem (honest guv.), and along the lines of colder-clime Italian whites. The label tells of a couple of awards and that grapes were hand picked between 28/8 and 4/9...yep, really. Nice enough, with better to come in time perhaps. Bought at 25% off and that is nearer the mark. |

This is what Jancis said of the 2009...... dry Sauvignon Blanc, hugely reminiscent of the fine Sauvignons of Styria, that tastes as though it is currently at its peak. Puklavec & Friends Sauvignon Blanc 2009 Štajerska Slovenija is much drier and more concentrated than the average Marlborough Sauvignon, but is more assertive than a typical Loire Sauvignon with lots of confident, 'green', fresh vegetation aromas and firm fruit on the palate. This is a Sauvignon to make your mouth water. While it could be drunk without food, it is certainly dry enough to serve with a wide variety of fish dishes. For some reason, I can't imagine it going with pasta - too aromatic perhaps? Eh - is much drier and more concentrated than the average Marlborough Sauvignon ? What ....Well, maybe I've successfully avoided the average MSB ! Styria in case you've never had S.SB, which I haven't, is an area in south east Austria Ba, does that TN figure for this 2012 vintage ? |

Yep, JR sounds about right though '09 may have been a better vintage. The 'pasta' comment is inspired, not enough viscosity I guess. The 'green' is likely the feature which does not allow me to think more highly of it. I don't get on very well with green or grapefruit. |
