Mlečnik
Apricot kernel · linden · honeyed wax
Walter's flagship. Six years in old wood before bottling. Apricot kernel, linden flower, a long honeyed wax finish. As close to a wine list non-negotiable as we have.
About the producer
Walter Mlečnik farms in the Vipava on the Italian-Slovenian border. He picks by hand, ferments on skins, ages for years. Ana is named for his daughter and gets better the longer it sits in your cellar.
