Farming: practicing organic
Gnc winery takes its name from both the family that owns and operates the vineyards as well as the name for the classic 136-liter barrel that has traditionally been used in Slovenian winemaking. Peter, who currently helms the operation, is the fourth generation of the Gnc family to oversee the organic farming and natural winemaking practiced at his estate. This wine sees 42 days of maceration on the skins and 15 months on the lees which provides a lush, rich texture and glowing
amber
color. Aromas of warm
clove
, orange oil, and
pine needles
introduce flavors of white pepper,
woodsy herbs
, and
dried citrus peel
on the palate. The gentle tannins and
vibrant
acidity make ‘Starman’ an excitingly unique and delicious orange wine.
Pairings:
Roasted chicken with creamy honey tumeric sauce
