This wine features moderate funkiness that enriches its complexity, blending apricots, dried herbs, and abundant honey with elegantly integrated VA. It strikes a balance between being a bit racy and well-structured, boasting good tannin and a lengthy, flavourful finish. Its multilayered character is both delightful and impressive, offering great QPR. A truly enjoyable find.

Paraschos
At a glance
- Evangelos Paraschos is a winemaker from Italian/Slovene border with Greek origin. Together with his kids he runs the winery. The brothers are true polyglots: they speak Greek with their father, Italian between themselves, Slovene with their workers, and English with most of their clients.
- He fell in love with wines of his neighbours and that inspired him to start making wines.
- 7 hectares of vineyards growing on unique soil called "Ponca", based on marlstone rich in minerals of Eocene origin.
Evangelos Paraschos was running a family restaurant. This is where he tasted and fell in love with the wines of his neighbours - Gravner and Radikon. This inspired him to start a winery in the 1990s.
Today, the winery is run by brothers Alexis and Jannis Paraschos and their father Evangelos. With Greek origin and the Italian/Slovene border situation, the brothers speak Greek with their father, Italian between themselves, Slovene with their workers, and English with most of their clients.
The 7 hectares owned by Paraschos are divided among 10 terraced vineyards in Slatnik, between San Floriano and Oslavia, on a typical and unique soil called "Ponca", based on marlstone rich in minerals of Eocene origin. The family cultivates Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, Malvasia Istriana, Pinot Grigio, Merlot and Pinot Noir.
