Marjan Simcic Leonardo 2011
For this noble sweet wine, made according to the passito method, the late harvested grapes are dried for 7-9 months before pressing. In this way, the grapes lose 90% of their water and the sugars, acids and flavours are concentrated. After this drying period, the grapes are pressed and fermented. Then follows another 2 years of maturation in oak barrels. You can already imagine that this is a glass for the true connoisseur.
This passito wine can be kept for up to 20 years and is said to be at its best about 15 years after the harvest.
