Named after Peter’s grandmother, Cuvée Anna is ripe with aromas of wild berries, strawberries, melon, and peach. On the palate, very fruity with a lively, refreshing finish. A bright Provence style rosé with the inimitable cool mineral snap and high-toned aromatics of northeast Slovenia. 

Fun fact:  Žametna črnina [zhá-met-na ch-r-ní-na] is the oldest living vine in the world (at 375-400 years old) and it’s traditionally planted in Slovenia.

Winemaker Notes:  Peter Gönc has been making wines from his family’s estate in the oldest town in Slovenia, Ptuj. He named this bottle after his grandmother, Ann —which makes sense since half of this bottle is made up of the grape Žametna Črnina, an indigenous vine that dates back some 400 years. With cuts of Pinot Noir, Grigio and Blaufränkisch, you’ll undoubtedly taste the familiar style of rosé, but with a decidedly Slovakian mineraly snappiness.
