The intriguing Zelen, meaning 'green' in Slovene, is an almost extinct grape typical of the Vipava.
Fruity, waxy, with hints of citrus zest and a enticing salinity all mingling with notes of white flowers, green apple, grapefruit and lemon. The most recent vintage has been macerated for 2 days on the skins so while it retains a traditional white wine colour, it has a pleasant hint of the distinctive texture and flavour that result from skin contact.
Every wine in Mitchell & Son has been carefully selected, researched and taste tested by our team, so we stand behind each selection on our retail list. If you are not happy with a wine, a delivery, or any aspect of our service, please contact us and we will be only too happy to help you in any way we can.
