Frequently asked about Vodopivec Solo
What does Vodopivec Solo taste like?
Dried apricot, wild herb, wet stone and orange peel on the nose; dried stone fruit, wild herb, saline depth and a long savoury close on the palate. Full-bodied with firm tannins and high acidity.
When should I drink Vodopivec Solo?
Drink 8 to 30 years from vintage. Solo's long oak ageing and firm tannic grip reward a decade-plus in the cellar.
What makes Solo different from regular Vodopivec Vitovska?
Solo is a single-parcel cuvée with longer skin maceration (around eight months) and very long oak ageing (around 36 months), released years after the cellar's standard Vitovska.
What food pairs with Vodopivec Solo?
Aged hard cheese is the canonical pairing. Slow-roast wild boar, brovada with musetto, and Triestine roast pork are equally strong.
