Verus Riesling 2023
A Riesling that captivates with a wonderfully intriguing nose of pressed basil leaves, lime zest and ripe peach. On the palate, the white fruit lingers alongside a fresh hint of green spice and combines with a warm, rounded body and sweetness that softens the crisp acidity. Can be eaten on its own or with delicate white fish or shellfish.

Verus
Verus was founded by three friends and wine growers, Raiko Zlicar, Danilo Schneider and Bozidar Grabovac in 2007, when they equipped their wine cellar on the premises of a former bakery. Božidar Grabovac spent his childhood in Ormos, 'Mestna graba'. He graduated in viticulture at the Biotechnical Faculty in Ljubljana and got a job in the Jeruzalem Ormož wine cellar, where he was responsible for the selection of vineyards and the production of vine cuttings, and soon after took over the management of the entire vineyard. There he takes care of over 500 hectares of vineyards, and in 2005 he took over the management of marketing. Within a year, with Danilo (then chief oenologist) and Raiko (then sales manager), he managed to make an internationally recognized wine brand. Danilo Schneider is also from Ormos and after high school he decided to study agronomy at the Biotechnical Faculty. In 1997 he graduated with a dissertation in the field of wine marketing. After graduating, he first did an internship in the French wine region of Saumur, then returned and was employed at the Jeruzalem Ormož wine cellar, where after years of extensive work in oenology and marketing he became chief winemaker and winery manager. Today he transfers all his rich knowledge, experience and passion in VERUS wines, which with the first bottling in 2007 won the hearts of many lovers. Today, Verus enjoys a well-deserved interest around the world and has customers in more than 25 countries.

Riesling
Riesling is an aromatic white grape variety that produces wine in the entire range - from botrytized sweet (one of the best in the world) to dry and semi-dry varieties, with captivating aromas of citrus and stone fruits, as well as the typical petroleum aroma, which in certain terroir appearances can dominate sensitively. Riesling's homeland can be said to be the valleys of the Rhine and Moselle rivers in Germany - the variety likes cooler weather. Naturally, here are the main wine regions of the country (Moselle, Rheinhessen, Rheingau, Pfalz). The vineyards are located on the steep hills, making mechanisation difficult, so here the viticultural activities are mainly manual. The wines from these regions are fresh and with a pronounced acidity. However, Riesling in Germany is by no means the main variety, in fact another is the wine region in which this variety is most common - and this is Alsace in France (or Elsaß in German). Unlike the German Riesling, the French Riesling is more saturated and lush due to the specifics of the microclimate there - the Vosges Mountains provide protection from northern winds and cold, and the sun is more generous in this southern region. Outside of these countries, perhaps Austria also presents itself with an interesting reading of this often called king of white varieties, and some countries of the New World successful experiment with it as well.
