About the wine

This Slovenian Furmint is fermented slowly at cool temperatures, followed by a few weeks in stainless steel on the fine lees to add body and texture. Bottling occurs shortly after with a delicate fining and filtration. The Verus winery, set up in 2007 by four friends, has gained international recognition for their single varietal white wines made in Slovenia’s north east corner that is steeped in viticultural history. You’ll be forgiven for not knowing about Jeruzalem and the surrounding hills, but you’ll thank us once you’ve tasted their wines as they offer some of the best value in Europe. Winemaking has been part of the culture here since before the Romans and there are dozens of small wineries that dedicate their lives to the production of quality wines.
