✨ Technical Specifications
The Bagueri Superior line from Klet Brda pays homage to Count Silverio de Baguer, a Spanish diplomat and passionate visionary who transformed the viticultural landscape of Goriška Brda in the late 19th century from his estate at Dobrovo Castle. This Sauvignon Blanc is grown on the region's signature 'opoka' soil—a mineral-rich layered marl and sandstone. The steep, sun-drenched terraces benefit from a unique microclimate where warm Adriatic winds meet cool Alpine breezes. To craft this expressive white, the grapes undergo short cold maceration followed by fermentation and aging on fine lees (sur lie) in a combination of oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. This method imparts a rich, creamy texture and complex smoky undertones that beautifully complement the grape's natural herbaceous and tropical fruit character.
🍾 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.
