Rose Rapsodija
Alc. 12.5 – 13.5 %

In veritas
Alc. 13.5 – 15.5 %
A premium semi-dry wine made from Plavac Mali grapes. The harvest takes place very late in the year when the berries have become sweet and dry. The maceration is short and lasts for 5 – 6 days at a temperature of 21 °C. The wine is fermented in stainless steel vats, followed by French oak. It hails from 50-year-old Plavac Mali vines located at the best positions in our vineyards. It has a rich flavour of ripe plums and dried berries. The fermentation process is interrupted by increasing the temperature at the moment when the sugar amounts to 30 grams in a litre of wine.
Characteristics of this Marlais wine: Initially sweet, with a dry finish in the mouth. Aromatic and herbal.
Pairing tip: Exquisite with “heavier” walnut, almond and cream cakes, dark chocolate with 80 % cocoa, blue cheese and ricotta cheese with honey.
