9.1

Deeply colored, fruity, very aromatic skin-contact orange wine made with Jakot/Tocai Friuliano from 60 years-old vineyards in Oslavia (Italy’s Collio region, right on the border with Slovenia) that Princic has been farming without pesticides since the 1980s. Alongside Oslavia neighbors Josko Gravner and Stanislao Radikon, Princic is recognized as one of the region’s natural and orange wine pioneers, known for the early adoption of bio-dynamic practices and use of extended skin macerations and lengthy aging – in this case, 22 days on skins and 2 years in botti. Rich, concentrated, with beautiful aromas of apricot, honey and peach gummy hearts. Some spice, herbal notes. Mineral, salty, great finish. — 6 years ago

After 4 days in a decanter it’s dried leaves, barnyard, and a touch of bourbon aging warehouse. On the same level as Gravner if not better. — 7 years ago

Mahogany brown; bright, spicy, ribolla nose with botrytis notes; light on its feet at 12.5% (in 2003!) but still energetic and with a lingering, 40 second finish. This is Special Selection Anfora magnum released in ‘18. — 7 years ago

9.1

GW Gravner tasting 10/26/16. From a single amphora so a Riserva. Actually reddish in color. Again that distinctive nose that's short on flowers but high on stone fruits and minerals and that beeswax character. Palate is complex and high on acidic fruits and peels and stones. Long finish that peels in layer again. — 9 years ago

9.2

Skin-fermented old vine Pinot Grigio. Beautiful color that I would describe as a blood orange wine rather than an orange wine. Very interesting and enjoyable, but obviously showing very young at this point. According to Abe's notes, Steverjan is the Slovenian name for the village of Collio, the home of Radikon and Gravner. — 10 years ago
