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.
