Guerila Sparkling Dry 2023
An exquisitely elegant, zero-dosage biodynamic sparkling wine from Slovenia's Vipava Valley, boasting 36 months of patient maturation.
Tasting Notes
■ Appearance: A beautifully radiant golden color with delicate green hues. Characterized by fine, abundant, and continuously elegant bubbles.
■ Aroma: A highly concentrated and refined aroma. It evolves from a lovely background of brioche and freshly baked dough to vibrant citrus, ripe peach, and fragrant Mediterranean herb nuances.
■ Palate: Extremely dry and elegant. Pleasant freshness and profound minerality harmonize beautifully, leading to a remarkably long and impeccably clean finish.
With an alcohol content of 12%, this wine undergoes no dosage (sugar addition), allowing the pure taste of the grapes and the unique character of the terroir to be expressed. Enjoy it well-chilled (6℃ to 8℃) to savor the sharp acidity and the complex umami derived from long-term aging in perfect balance.
The Story
Slovenia's Biodynamic Pinnacle by the Renowned Guerila, Zmago Petrič
Nestled in Slovenia's beautiful and rugged Vipava Valley, Guerila Winery, with its absolute dedication to nature, produces pure, terroir-driven wines that rival the world's finest traditional method sparkling wines.
This unique cuvée blends two indigenous varieties highly prized in the Vipava Valley: Pinela and Zelen. These varieties are esteemed for their bright acidity, delicate floral character, and remarkable ability to express the soil's minerality. Grapes, hand-picked from strictly biodynamically farmed vineyards, are made using the traditional method (secondary fermentation in the bottle) and aged on lees for an astonishing 36 months. To preserve the inherent purity of the grapes, no dosage (sugar addition) is performed, and bottling is done in perfect harmony with Maria Thun's biodynamic calendar. (Production: A limited release of only 3,000 bottles worldwide).
Food Pairing
The purity of zero-dosage, fine bubbles, and rich brioche aromas make it an incredibly versatile and sophisticated partner in haute gastronomy:
- ■ Oysters and Fresh Seafood: The extremely dry minerality and vibrant citrus notes add a splendid, lemon-squeeze-like accent to fresh, briny seafood.
- ■ Seafood and Vegetable Tempura: The fine, persistent bubbles and crisp acidity beautifully cut through the oiliness of light, crispy batter, perfectly cleansing and refreshing the palate with every bite.
- ■ Prosciutto and Aged Hard Cheeses: The aromatic depth and toasted bread nuances from 36 months of aging on lees, coupled with a robust structure, harmoniously pair with rich, savory, and salty charcuterie.
Serving Temperature: 6℃〜8℃ (Enjoy its inherent richness at this temperature range)
Vineyard & Terroir
The Bounty of Slovenia's Vipava Valley (Elevation: 300m – 400m)
The vineyards thrive at a dramatic climatic intersection where harsh mountain winds meet the gentle warmth of the Mediterranean. Planted in ancient marine soils of marl and sandstone (flysch), and pruned using the low Guyot system, the vines must root deeply to extract the distinctive minerality and crisp tension that define this sparkling wine's long finish.
"Having worked in vineyards since I was 13, I can't help but feel deep respect for the immense physical labor required to produce a zero-dosage biodynamic sparkling wine of such quality. The vibrant Mediterranean citrus notes are perfectly balanced with the rich brioche complexity from 36 months of aging. It's truly an honor to share this rare wine, of which only 3,000 bottles are produced, with everyone in Japan.
