✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched, terraced hills of Goriška Brda, the Quercus Beli Pinot (Pinot Bianco) is a beautiful expression of Slovenian viticulture where the Alps meet the Adriatic. The name 'Quercus' pays homage to the majestic oak trees that historically dotted this landscape. Grown on unique 'opoka' soils—a mineral-rich blend of marl and sandstone—this Pinot Bianco benefits from dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. Klet Brda crafts this wine primarily in stainless steel to preserve its bright, youthful energy, resulting in a clean, elegant white characterized by delicate floral aromas, green apple notes, and a distinct slate-like minerality that reflects the region's ancient marine geology.

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.
