Pinot Gris Skin Contact · Haloze
About
▸ Marl soils, 280-m terraces.
▸ Pear. Orange. Sea salt.
▸ Quietly textural.
A 10-day skin ferment on marl and sandstone gives this Haloze Pinot Gris its faint copper tint and gentle grip. Vines sit around 280 m; cool forest air keeps acidity sharp, so the answer to ‘why orange?’ is actually geology.
The Zavec family farms some of Slovenia’s steepest marl terraces in Haloze, at 280–330 m. Their Pinot Gris ferments wild on the skins and rests four months on lees in used barriques, so colour turns copper while flavours read bruised pear, orange peel and a faint line of sea salt.
