Hailing from the sun-drenched, terraced hills of Goriska Brda, often referred to as the Slovenian Tuscany, the Quercus Selekcija Rdeca Zvrst is a beautiful testament to Klet Brda's mastery of blending. The name Quercus pays homage to the native oak trees that dot this picturesque landscape. This red blend is grown in the region's unique opoka soil, a mineral-rich layered marl and sandstone, which imparts a distinct mineral complexity and elegant structure to the wine. Benefiting from a unique microclimate where cool Alpine winds clash with warm Mediterranean breezes from the Adriatic Sea, the grapes develop intense aromatic profiles while retaining vibrant acidity. This classic blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon undergoes careful maceration and aging, resulting in a harmonious, medium-bodied red characterized by ripe forest fruits, subtle plum notes, and a touch of soft spice.
