The vines grow on the south- and south-east-facing terraces of the upper Branica Valley at an altitude of 200 to 350 metres. Opoka, marl, sandstone, clay and limestone shape the soils; winds from the Vipava Valley and the Karst ensure good ventilation. The wine ferments spontaneously without cultured yeasts, remains on the skins for three weeks and matures for 24 months in wooden casks. Bottled unfiltered, it displays a deep golden-yellow to lightly amber colour, with aromas of dried fig, candied citrus peel, acacia honey, camomile and pine nuts. The structure is mineral and pronounced, with herbal and spicy notes.
