✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of the Spanish diplomat Count Silverio de Baguer, who revolutionized the winemaking standards at Dobrovo Castle in the late 19th century, this flagship white blend represents the pinnacle of Klet Brda's craft. The grapes are sourced from selected terraced vineyards in the Goriška Brda region, where the vines dig deep into the mineral-rich 'opoka' soil (marl and sandstone). Benefiting from a unique microclimate where warm Mediterranean air meets cool Alpine breezes, the grapes develop intense aromatic complexity. The wine is fermented and matured in French oak barriques, resulting in a sophisticated, full-bodied blend that beautifully marries the creamy texture and ripe stone-fruit character of Chardonnay with the vibrant acidity and elegant botanical notes of Sauvignon Blanc.
🍾 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.
