Fermented at cool temperatures, slowly and only in stainless steel tanks means that the team at Verus have done all they can to preserve the varietal purity of this 100% Sauvignon Blanc wine. It’s a variety that, if grown well, needs little winemaker massaging to make expressive and inviting wines. The wine spends a few weeks on the lees to gain texture before it is bottled without fining and only a light filtration.
Verus winery is a team of four friends who, in 2007, set up to follow their passion. Styria, in Slovenia’s bucolic north east, is a historic wine region that is home to many small producers and is still one of Europe’s best kept wine secrets. Although you might think that Sauvigon Blanc is an international import to Slovenia, Slovenians have a wine-making history that predates that of France and they have been making wines from Sauvignon Blanc for hundreds of years.
The Sauvignon Blanc from Verus is one of those bottles that makes you think to yourself, “why have I been buying wine from a supermarket all my life?!”. A wine made with passion and care by a small producer, respecting the land they work on and offering truly great value.
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.
