Fresh Light Orange Kerner (Matic Wines) (Matic Fresh Light Orange Kerner) 2024 [Slovenia / Orange / Natural]

■ Appearance: A deep, slightly cloudy sunshine yellow.

■ Aroma: An explosive aroma reminiscent of fresh pineapple juice spreads, transforming into rich mango and lychee notes as it breathes.

Matic Wines: A Natural Expression of Styria
Situated in the rolling hills of Styria, Slovenia, Matic Wines is a winery led by Matija Žerjav. Dedicated to organic cultivation and the natural expression of Eastern European viticulture, they produce pure wines with minimal human intervention. Grapes are carefully harvested in the cool early mornings, followed by 14-21 days of skin contact to extract deep color and texture. Subsequently, the wine is aged on lees in stainless steel tanks for six months to develop complexity.

Recommended perfect matches for this wine:

• ■ Sweet and Sour Pork – The wine's bright pineapple and lychee flavors naturally harmonize with the dish's sweet and sour sauce.
• ■ Grilled Halloumi or Paneer Cheese – The wine's unique "grilled pineapple" finish beautifully matches the savory, charred flavors of grilled cheese.
• ■ Spicy Thai Green Curry – The fresh, tropical fruit profile counteracts the chili heat, and the wine's structure from skin contact stands up well to the rich coconut milk.

Serving Temperature: 10℃〜12℃ (Enjoy at this temperature range to bring out its full richness)

Ultimate Balance Nurtured by Marl Soil
The vineyards are situated in the extreme microclimate of Styria, northeastern Slovenia, rich in marl soil. This environment forces the vines to root deeply, resulting in vibrant natural acidity and earthy minerality that perfectly balance the bold, tropical fruit flavors.
