Drawing inspiration from the region's centuries-old winemaking traditions, Lavrenčič focuses on indigenous and long-established local grape varieties, farming his vineyards with deep respect for soil vitality and biodiversity. The estate is certified organic and biodynamic, benefiting from the harsh, cooling Burja wind that sweeps through the valley to keep vines healthy naturally. In the cellar, Primož practices low-intervention winemaking: spontaneous native fermentations, spontaneous short skin macerations, aging in large neutral Slavonian oak casks and concrete tanks, no fining, no filtration, and minimal added sulfur.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003eBurja \"Malvazija\" is a deeply authentic, characterful expression of Malvasia Istriana sourced from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards rooted in flysch (local opoka soil composed of marl and sandstone). The hand-harvested grapes undergo a short, gentle skin-contact maceration (typically 2 to 7 days) and spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts, extracting a rich golden hue, subtle phenolic grip, and complex botanical aromatics without masking the grape's natural freshness. Aged on fine lees in large neutral oak casks and concrete tanks, the 2021 vintage displays beautiful balance and tension; it masterfully pairs a complex bouquet of orchard fruit, dried citrus, and Mediterranean herbs with a driving mineral core, mouthwatering acidity, and a crisp, saline finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Posestvo Burja","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47791549841557,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/posestvo-burja-malvazija-2021-750ml-white-wine-bottle-13-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
