Verus Sauvignon comes from several vineyards, both old and young, on eastern, southern and western facing terrains. Therefore, by carefully selecting the time of harvest for each individual vineyard in each vintage, we can achieve the desired style of wine: the maximum intensity of the bouquet, an aroma of elderflowers, gooseberries, tropical fruit, nettles, capsicum, blackcurrant or cut grass. The wine is fresh, balanced and has a full-bodied flavour.

During the process of winemaking they were handling the grapes, must, juice and wine in a very protective way. Which means minimum air contact and quick, gentle handling during all the process stages. Fermentation took place over three weeks in stainless steel tanks at temperature 15°-20°C. After fermentation, wine remained in contact with fine lees for few weeks. No fining, gentle filtration.

Verus was founded by three friends and winegrowers: Rajko Žličar, Danilo Šnajder and Božidar Grabovac. They opened a wine cellar on the premises of a former bakery in the spring of 2007. “Verus” means true, real, actual, as well as honest, genuine, unpretentious, fair. They, like us, strive to have this kind of attitude towards everyone and hope that their wines exhibit the same qualities. Verus vineyards are located in eastern Slovenia, in the winegrowing region of Styria. They extend between the rivers Drava and Mura, and the towns of Ormož and Ljutomer. In this diverse, dynamic and exceptionally picturesque landscape they cultivate 25ha of vineyards in carefully selected sites.
