Details about wine

Created of grape variety white Tamjanika, pampered in Dobrsko Selo. Tamjanika found her new home in December 2016, where she even fought for life with morning frost at the end of April 2017. From that days every our vine bears real scars. Although it’s a young vineyard that is just “learning its first steps”, the first harvest in 2019. leaves us with impatience and thoughts – what kind of miracle should we expect in full maturity? Tamjanika gives wines with a muscat character, very fresh acids, diamond purity, medium body and distinct finish. A wine that will make you selfish.


The story behind the wine

It was love at first smell and taste. No, it was a knockout in the first seconds. Not much time has passed since then, from the first fragrant notes and characteristic taste to the plan for „marriage“. When we got the idea for building a winery, of one we were sure – Tamjanika has to be planted, point. There are hundreds and thousands of grape varieties, but we had no doubt. Most of the wine elite, the wine industry, will oppose this idea, but logic is on the one side but heart and intuition mean life. And only courage is being rewarded.

Interesting fact

The data show that the distant great-great-great-grandfather, from whom the clone of Tamjanika originated, is actually the oldest known grape grupation in the world. The name of the variety Tamjanika came from the specific aroma of incense that can be found in wine. From there, we made a connection between Incense and the Greek language and got the name Thumiama.

About the bottle

The very name that “La Divine” represents a clear aspiration towards Divinity, perfection… It represents the very top of the world’s elite called – Burgundy style bottles. The bottle represents perfection down to the smallest detail, makes a blend of power and impeccable elegance.

 

It holds world records for the highest and heaviest in his class. A masterpiece in the true meaning of the word.

About the cork

One of the biggest issues of winemaking today and of immense importance to us. Anyone who bought and kept a bottle for a special occasion and came across rotten wine after opening it, knows the importance of the cork.

 

In addition to guaranteeing the health of the wine, the optimal flow of the oxygen through the cork and stable wine maturation are of great importance for us. Since Tamjanika has the best potential in the first years, our choice is Diam 5, dimensions 47mm.

Burgundy – La Divine

A bottle that captivates with its magnificent stature, aristocratic silhouette and great weight with an extremely deep point:

Diam 5 cork closure

Production process called DIAMANT is patented and environmentally-friendly process uses supercritical CO2 to extract from the cork the compounds that cause sensory deviations, including the infamous cork taint (TCA)

Winemaking

Hand picking – desteaming and mulching – grape juice pressing up to 1 bar – cooling and precipitation of grape juice at 6 ºC for 36-48h – addition of yeast – fermentation in a wooden vessel for 9 days at a controlled temperature – racking into Inox vessels – „quiet“ fermentation – racking and clarification – stabilization and filtration.



Vintage 2019 and harvest

Very characteristic and very demanding in the vineyard. The budding and the first shoots start as early as the beginning of April, thanks to the warm and sunny days during almost the whole month. The most challenging period was May, which brought as many as 25 rainy days almost unprecedented for that month followed by daily temperatures around 20 degrees, what delayed flowering.

 

Overnight on May 30 the temperature rised to 30+ degrees and we had an extremely hot and dry summer. September brought us mild rainfall around the 15th of the month, triggering a harvest in most of the country between September 10th and 13th. The rest of the month was stable until the end of the „Miholj“ summer with characteristic warm days and fresh nights. The harvest of white Tamjanika ended on 19. October.
