✨ Technical Specifications
The Bagueri Superior line from Klet Brda pays homage to Count Silverio de Baguer, a Spanish diplomat and passionate viticulturist who revolutionized winemaking at the Dobrovo Castle estate in the late 19th century. Crafted from hand-harvested grapes grown on the steep, sun-drenched terraced slopes of Goriška Brda, this Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in the region's unique 'opoka' soil—a mineral-rich layered marl and sandstone. The wine undergoes traditional maceration and is aged for at least 24 months in oak barrels, resulting in a deeply structured, elegant red that harmonizes intense dark fruit notes with sophisticated mineral undertones and velvety tannins, reflecting both Alpine freshness and Mediterranean warmth.
🍾 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.
