Matic Wines – The Prince 2023
Slovenia
This attractive amber-hued natural orange wine from Slovenia is a delightful exploration of Šipon AKA Furmint grapes.
Matic Wines’ “The Prince” 2023 offers a unique and flavourful journey from nose to finish.
Unfiltered, it presents a beautiful haze, reminiscent of a sunset captured in a glass.
Soft tropical fruits take center stage on the nose, perfectly complemented by delicate pear and white melon notes. Pleasant citrus flavours with a distant hint of apricot go hand in hand with the delicate acidity of this wonderful summer wine.
The five days of skin contact enhance the wine’s delightful freshness, imparting a bright and juicy texture on the palate.
The unique aging process in concrete egg and amphora adds complexity, enhancing the gentle tropical fruit flavours with a touch of earthiness that speaks to the Štajerska terroir.
The acidity, soft tannins, and fruit flavours are in perfect harmony, contributing to a satisfying finish.
It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Consider lighter fare like grilled fish, roasted vegetables, as well as Asian-inspired cuisine or even a creamy cheese platter.
