Product details

The Marlon Hrastov Hrib is a blend from the vineyard of the same name, comprised of various indigenous white Vipava Valley grape varieties such as Pinela, Malvazija, Welschriesling, ... The unsprayed grapes were handpicked in the first half of September. This is followed by spontaneous fermentation and malolactic fermentation (conversion to lactic acid). The wine matures for one and a half years in used 225-liter oak barrels. Marlon Hrastov Hrib is bottled without filtration and clarification. According to Miha Batič: "the farmer should only be an assistant to nature and thus choose the right grape variety for the selected vineyard locations. Let the bees, earthworms, birds, and the organisms hidden from sight do their work. The soil should be enlivened by the diversity of plants, those that the soil itself calls for, and the vines selected by the farmer considering the soil should be protected from the winds. The first ripe grapes will show whether his choice of grape variety aligns with the one the Creator has assigned to the soil he has chosen. The vine itself has no name in nature, only characteristics. Man has given it a name. Today, I no longer search for indigenous varieties by their name, but by their essence. This way of thinking has led me to varieties that our country has never known. Fundamentally, they have everything that the indigenous varieties had in the past. These varieties are now cultivated without any pesticides, just like the indigenous varieties of the past." The color of the wine is a bright orange, reminiscent of the warm tones of autumn. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad, and structured, with balanced acidity and pleasant tannin structure. The maceration period of around 4 weeks and the barrel aging of 18 months give the wine an additional dimension of flavor and texture. This wine is a prime example of minimal intervention philosophy. It is unfined and made with minimal sulfur, emphasizing its naturalness and purity. As a certified Demeter operation, Batič guarantees the highest quality and sustainability in wine production. |

Recommended Enjoyment Moments |
| The Batič Marlon Hrastov Hrib Cuvée is a versatile companion to a range of dishes. It pairs excellently with meat, game, roasted dishes, and vegetarian dishes. Its structure and complexity make it an ideal partner for an elegant dinner or a convivial gathering with friends.
Serve this wine at a temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius to fully showcase its aromas. It is particularly recommended with spicy Asian dishes, mature cheese, or hearty seafood dishes. Store the wine in a cool, dark place to preserve its quality. The optimal storage temperature is between 10 and 14 degrees Celsius. Thanks to its excellent aging potential of at least 10 to 15 years, the wine develops even greater depth and complexity over time. Open the bottle preferably 2 - 3 hours before consumption or decant it into a generous carafe (e.g., the Axium by Zalto) to let the wine breathe and fully reveal its aromatic spectrum. |
