Notes & Pairings

This is essentially a barrel selection cuvee from the best vineyards. For the 2020, 3 different sites in particular (Jazbine, Mali Dunaj, and Livišče) with an average vine age of 35 years. Fermented separately, each grape was macerated for 18 days, blended, and then aged in 225L barrels for 30 months. . Angel is also the name of one of Miha’s sons. This is a wine that should bring joy for generations to come. It’s the best of what could be done. Angel represents the wonderful harmony of merlot’s power and drive, the ripe aromatics of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the fancy bow that ties it all together is the Cabernet Franc.
