Renčel - Cuvee 2001

A mind-blowing back vintage from a long established but little known winemaker in the Slovenian Karst region.

I employ a crude rating system when I'm jotting down tasting notes in the field. A wine gets either no stars (anything from terrible to quite good), one star (very good/excellent), or very rarely two stars (outstanding). 2015's first two star wine was Josko Renčel's  stunning white blend, simply called "cuvée".

Having tasted Renčel's delicious cuvée 2011…
