The Wine & Winemaker
- Winemaker: Mitja Lavrenčič & family (Sutor)
- Region: Vipava Valley, Slovenia
- Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
The Story
Mitja Lavrenčič approaches Sauvignon Blanc in a way that completely redefines the variety. Forget the crisp, grassy green commercial style most people expect. At Sutor on the steep slopes of Podraga, this famous grape receives a rich Burgundian treatment. Mitja and his family use their signature early harvest starter batch to initiate spontaneous fermentation, after which the juice ages for a year in Slavonian oak casks. Through regular batonnage on the lees, Mitja builds extraordinary texture. Unfined and unfiltered, this wine is built for deep bottle maturation rather than quick consumption.
The Vibe & Tasting Notes
The Sauvignon Blanc 2021 is a deeply complex and layered white wine that rewrites everything you know about this grape. In the glass, it reveals a golden hue with alluring aromas of ripe stone fruit, candied citrus, elderflower, sage, and a subtle, creamy touch of oak. The palate feels rich and structured, yet the extreme climate and fierce Burja wind of the Vipava Valley ensure a striking mineral freshness and lingering finish. An exceptional gastronomic white wine that pairs magnificently with rich seafood, roasted vegetables, or aged creamy cheeses.

Why natural wine costs more, and why it’s worth it
-
No shortcuts
Growers who refuse pesticides and chemical additives accept that they’ll lose a significant part of their harvest to weather, disease, and unpredictable nature, but they do it to keep their wines pure, alive, and honest.
-
Risk and loss
Nature swings between plenty and scarcity; frost, hail, heat and ferments can erase volumes, fewer bottles must carry the farm’s costs, with ageing measures adding expense to keep the wine clean and true over time.
-
Integrity and handwork
Hands replace chemicals: they weed, manage canopies, pick, and sort by hand; presses and gravity moves protect texture, while cleanliness and patient ageing deliver purity without shortcuts, increasing labor but preserving integrity in every bottle.
