This 100% Riesling wine has a wonderfully intriguing nose of pressed basil leaf, lime zest and peach skin with a hint of that steely character for which Riesling is famous. On the palate, the white fruits persist along with the fresh basil note and they are allied with a warming, round body and touch of sweetness which softens the brilliant acidity. This is a wine-drinker’s wine, to be enjoyed on its own or with delicate white fish or shellfish. Read More
This 100% Riesling wine has a wonderfully intriguing nose of pressed basil leaf, lime zest and peach skin with a hint of that steely character for which Riesling is famous. On the palate, the white fruits persist along with the fresh basil note and they are allied with a warming, round body and touch of sweetness which softens the brilliant acidity. This is a wine-drinker’s wine, to be enjoyed on its own or with delicate white fish or shellfish.
This Slovenian Riesling 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. A wine of potential this certainly is, the development of the mineral backbone along with the concentrated white fruits and herbal edge will be fascinating.
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.
There are some wines that you can smell, and smell, and smell and every time you put your nose to the glass you notice a different aroma. However, there aren’t tons of these wines for below £20, it’s one of those sought-after characteristics we tend to associate with wines at a higher price point. Well, the Riesling from Verus is a notable exception.
The Verus winery was set up in 2007 by three friends, all of whom have long family histories of winemaking in Styria, Slovenia’s northeastern wine region. Today, Verus is the most dynamic winery in the area and they have become synonymous with the region. Known for their varietal white wines with natural acidity, precise fruit notes and wonderful purity, Verus should be on everyone’s must-try list for an off-the-beaten track alternative to the favourites in western Europe.
