✨ Technical Specifications
The 'A+ White' represents the pinnacle of Klet Brda's winemaking, a prestigious cuvée crafted only in exceptional vintages from the finest, oldest terraced vineyards of Goriška Brda. Grown on the region's signature 'opoka' soil—a mineral-rich layered marl and sandstone—this wine is a masterclass in blending local heritage with international sophistication. The blend typically brings together the structured and mineral-driven Rebula, the rich and creamy Chardonnay, and a touch of the rare, indigenous Pikolit. Fermented and aged in French oak barriques for at least 12 months, followed by extensive bottle aging, it develops a complex bouquet of ripe stone fruits, wild honey, vanilla, toasted hazelnuts, and elegant mineral undertones. It stands as a tribute to the dedication of the cooperative's families and the unique microclimate where the Alps meet the Adriatic.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1957 as a cooperative uniting local winegrowing families, Klet Brda is the leading wine producer in the picturesque Goriška Brda region of western Slovenia, situated between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea. Working with hundreds of multi-generational families who tend steep, terraced vineyards planted on distinctive flysch and sandstone soils known locally as 'opoka', the winery seamlessly merges centuries of viticultural tradition with state-of-the-art cellar techniques. The estate is celebrated for its diverse portfolio spanning crisp sparkling wines, vibrant whites, and structured reds, with particular distinction in indigenous and regional varieties such as Rebula (Ribolla Gialla) and Sauvignonasse alongside international mainstays across acclaimed collections like the fresh, fruit-forward Quercus line.
