MURSA Cuvée Antonia 2020 MARO Wine

Glowing, golden-yellow colour with a dense swirl. Pronounced aromatics lead us into a tangle of citrus, tropical and white flowers. The note of lime and grapefruit connects with the perceptions of apple, apricot, pineapple, white rose, and lemon blossom. The taste is soft, with a gentle perception of residual sugar and warmth. The acidity is lively and provides a pleasant balance to the wine allowing our palate to perceive the mineral imprint.
Intense, elegant, and balanced, long lasting.

Wine-growing district
Štajerska Slovenija, wine-growing subdistrict Ljutomersko-Ormoške gorice, wine-growing locations Nunska graba and Stanovščak.

Terroir
The furmint vineyard is located on the western slope of the medium slope of Nunska Graba, at an altitude of 280 m, while the pinot blanc and chardonnay vineyard is located on the south-eastern slope of the steeper slope of Strezetina, at an altitude of 300 m. The continental cold winters, sunny summers with cool nights, and the weathered slope with its clay/loamy sandy subsoil offer excellent conditions for the vineyards grown in single guyot.

Winemaking
Hand-picked, softly de-stemmed, matured for 18 months in an inox barrel and bottled in March 2022.

Interesting fact
Antonia, the daughter of Josip MURSA, was the owner of the vineyard at Nunska Graba, where today we grow furmint, the predominantly the Antonia variety. I have dedicated my second cuvée to the memory of my great-aunt.

Perfect serving temperature: 9–11 °C

Pairing with food: The wine goes perfectly with cold and warm starters, paired with white meat and seasonal vegetables.
