In the sun-drenched, terraced hills of Goriška Brda, where the cool alpine breezes of the Julian Alps meet the warm currents of the Adriatic Sea, Klet Brda crafts its expressive Quercus Sec. This sparkling wine is produced using the Charmat (tank) method to preserve the pristine, vibrant fruit characteristics of the region's grapes. The name 'Quercus' pays homage to the native oak trees that dot the landscape, symbolizing strength and deep roots in the mineral-rich 'opoka' (marl) soils. This sparkling wine captures the joyful, social spirit of Slovenian wine culture, offering a delicate play of bubbles, fresh yellow apple, and citrus notes, backed by a subtle, elegant sweetness characteristic of the 'Sec' style.
