Sale price$24.50

Emilio is the premier white wine for the Štekar family, and takes its name from winemaker Jure Stekar’s great grandfather. This is 100% hand-harvested Sauvignonasse from the Pročno vineyard, which features marl soils. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel and used French oak followed by 14 days of skin-contact. The wine continued through its fermentations and rested in Acacia barrels for 9 months before bottling. Full and deep on the palate with ripe fruit, herbs, and a salty minerality. This wine is versatile enough to pair with a plethora of cuisines, from umami Asian dishes to charcuterie and hard cheeses.

Stekar

Located in Snežatno. In the Goriška Brda zone of Slovenia, near the border of Italy, the Štekar winery is known for producing red and white wines made in the traditional manner, with extended skin contact and little or no sulphur added. In 1985, that Roman Stekar decided to forego selling fruit from his small plot of vines to the local cooperative and start producing his own wines. Starting with 5 hectares of vines, all planted on steep slopes at 180m altitude, and grown organically in soils rich in marl, the vineyards today are stretch across 10 hectares. In the words of Jure Stekar, Roman’s son and the current winemaker: “In the wine cellar, we follow our idea of natural wine where nature has been left to take its course. But above all, we try to pursue our goal that is to produce genuine wine that inspires emotions, tells about our land and about us.”
