Pikasi Zelen

Zelen is a rare local variety from Vipava Valley, with only 80 hectares left being cultivated in the world. It is a low-yielding varietal that thrives in the windy Vipava region, where the harsh climate means that growers must use indigenous grapes that are resistant to the intense winds.

The wine delivers intense aromas of lemon, white tea and honeysuckle and the palate offers a silky texture with juicy lemon, bitter almond, and a touch of caramel. Pair it with grilled whole fish, squid with lemon, parsley and olive oil, or a roast chicken pasta with cream sauce.
