Matic Rose Mea Blaufrankisch Pet Nat

This is a sparkling rose pet nat comprised of all blaufrankisch grapes. This Mea Rose has a beautiful light pink glimmer in the glass with an exceptionally fresh nose featuring notes of cut citrus fruits, spring flowers, and even fresh cut grass. Dry on the palate you’ll find a nice lemon-lime note, lemon pith, with a beautiful streak of acidity so common to all Matic’s wines. The finish is wonderful with hints of cherry, bubble gum and the acidity leaves your mouth clean and wanting more. Limited production.

Unique terroir

The winemaking area in Štajerska is located in the so-called ‘mountain wine zone‘, which of course can get very cold. Harsh winter is good for the vines as it disinfects the soil. The essential factor is a sharp contrast between warm days and cool nights.

Matic explained that the more marl in the soil, the less water the vines have, causing their roots to dig deeper and deeper. There are a lot of mineral aspects to these wines – steely and salty with great acidity. No water systems are in place, as well as no fertilizers, just vines struggling in the best way, surviving in harmony with nature.

Great natural wines

Matic exclaimed: ‘We work only with what nature gives us. So, no chemicals in our wines’. He chooses to use organic, sustainable methods and native wild yeasts not because of the natural label or trend, but because he firmly and unconditionally believes this is how wine should be made.

Matic’s Šipon is a true gem of the Slovenia’s Štajerska. Coming from nearly 50-year-old vineyards this wine shows the true characteristics of the grape, with beautiful stone fruit notes at first backed by a burst of acidity that makes your mouth water and crave more. Notes of fresh orange and lemon zest dance in the back palate. Aged in steel on the fine lees, this wine has finesse and body to back it all up.

Matic follows principles of natural winemaking which are the same like when his grandfather was making the wine. His philosophy is that every wine that he makes, he can drink without any fear of a headache or anything else.
