Description

Instant weird wine love. Maybe ten grape varieties, some red, some white and multiple vintages go into this bawdy, brisk red wine made by kiwi Nick Gee at his family winery in Slovenia.

It's on the light side of medium in terms of body weight, but on the full side of flavoursome, as peppery, red berry and herbal notes leap up the nose.

The palate is zingy and light-footed, with some skinsy phenolic bitterness the support structure rather than tannin.

Slovenian boom time.

A wild blend: Pinot Noir, Blaufrankisch, Zweigelt, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Wurzer, Syrah, Yellow Muscat, all from the Pohorje Foothills, Lower Styria. Zweigelt and Yellow Muscat are co-fermented, with all other varieties made separately. Wurzer fermented on skins. Wines are aged 12 months in older French oak and then in concrete. Many vintages blended together.

Flavour-wise – wow. Light on its feet but with plenty of flavour richness. Ruby in colour, spicy red fruits, white pepper, a touch of oak, plums and cassis. Velvety tannins and a tart finish (perhaps the white grapes coming through). Tasty and a heck of a lot going on here.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
