Jade

This wine is characterised by an elegant blend of two varieties, combining the fresh and mineral character of Graševina with the fullness and softness of Chardonnay. The selected harvest of grapes yields pronounced aromas, concentrated flavours and a well-rounded sweetness. The wine boasts a lustrous golden-yellow colour, with opulent aromas of ripe stone fruit such as peach and apricot, floral notes of black locust and acacia, as well as hints of honey, vanilla and dried fruits. On the palate, it is well-rounded, with subtle hints of sweetness balanced out by freshness, which keeps it drinkable and vibrant. The wine is full-bodied, with a silky texture and a long-lasting, aromatic aftertaste, with subtle notes of spices and fruits.

Gastronomic recommendation

This wine pairs beautifully with foie gras or a fine goose-liver pâté, as its sweetness and freshness emphasise the creaminess of the dish. It is also a great match for aromatic cheeses such as Gorgonzola Dolce or aged goat’s cheese, as the contrast of savoury and sweet notes creates a harmonious balance. It goes well with fish dishes in rich sauces, such as sea bass fillet with cream and herbs – the wine’s full body and silky texture mirror the creaminess of the sauce, while its mineral character provides a refreshing finish. The wine also pairs wonderfully with Asian specialties such as chicken in a mild sweet and sour sauce; the dish’s exotic flavours go well with the wine’s honey and fruity nuances. Lastly, it is a perfect match for stone fruit desserts such as apricot tart or panna cotta with honey and almonds, as the wine’s aromas blend seamlessly with the sweetness of the final course.
