Only healthy, best berries are hand-selected from the clusters, macerated without pressing in the fresh juice of Zlatarica for 100 days in an acacia barrel. Fermentation takes place on wild yeasts and the wine is stirred on fine lees for up to 12 months. A very limited series of only 300 bottles—an orange expression of Zlatarica that is unique and complex, yet gentle, with minimal intervention in the cellar and great ageing potential.
Delicate orange color with subtle wood influence, aromas of orange blossom and light nutty notes, flavors of ripe lemon juice and a gentle palate with a light touch of tannin. Pairs with marinated mussels and sardines, poultry, and eggplant.
Winner of a bronze medal at Decanter.
