Both the cultivation of the soil and the maceration of the grapes are carried out in relation to the old Vipavska dolina winemaking traditions that were in use for centuries, until the 1950s. The whole process is strongly linked to the lunar phases. From the very beginning, Zaria is shaped by the new moon, which gives the wine its young, lively and deep character.
Deep shade of yellow with amber hues. Zaria's intense color is a result of a very low yield per hectare, longer maceration and the way it was aged. On the palate the wine is mineral and smokey. A firm and full body is beautifully rounded off by the intense mineral character. The finish is long and clean.
