The Bagueri Superior line pays homage to Count Silverio de Baguer, a Spanish diplomat who fell in love with the Goriška Brda hills in the late 19th century and transformed Dobrovo Castle into a beacon of advanced viticulture. This Chardonnay is grown on steep, sun-drenched terraced vineyards where the soil is dominated by 'opoka'—a mineral-rich flysch of marl and sandstone. To craft this premium white, the grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation and maturation in a combination of French and American oak barriques, utilizing the sur lie method to build rich texture, complexity, and creamy depth while preserving the vibrant Mediterranean-influenced acidity and distinct mineral backbone of the region.
