#145 Pinela

A delicious wine. Think unoaked chardonnay with firm structure and solid acidity. It has great balance despite the alcohol content of a blistering 14.22%! This wine is bold but not over the top and if you can find it (good luck) its an excellent bottle.

And a blurb from the retailer:
"Zelen and Pinela are the two indigenous grape varietals of the Vipava Valley which are just now being rediscovered and replanted by a handful of leading vintners. They consider these grapes their precious natural resource to make wines that are unmistakenly unique to their beloved wine region.
Guerila is one of these few estates, its vineyards have been family owned for centuries. The approach revitalizes traditions but with an exquisite contemporary technical know-how and a careful attention to every detail."
