In the glass

Full-bodiedMedium tanninHigh acidityDryLong finish

Aroma: ripe red fruit, spice, forest floor

Palate: blackberry, cedar, dried herbs

Ruby with garnet tints. The red half of the Stara Brajda pair, with Refosk lending acidity to the Bordeaux varieties and eighteen days on the skins giving grip.

What it pairs with

  • Game goulash
    Scurek names it; the wine's acidity cuts a long braise.
  • Beef steak
    Tannin and dark fruit handle the marbling.
  • Grilled lamb
    The producer names lamb; dried herbs in the wine track the rosemary.
