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.
