Izbani Teran is a native grape of Slovenia’s Kraz region, a very small appellation bordering Northern Italy. The vines are grown in iron-rich terra rosa soils, and that iron note translates on the nose and palate. This is a wine that is an acquired taste, Izbani Teran has very high acidity and that translates too, it’s spare on fruit, with tart, with fresh cranberries and some black plum skins to flesh it out. Pine resin, dried mint and rusty nail complicates the nose, in the mouth, saline and herbal undertones. 11.9% ABV | Sample
