Description: “My name is Zmagoslav Petrič. Guerila is the offspring of my ideas and dreams. I was born in 1956 in a peasant family. Guerila wines are the fruit of hand-picked biodynamic grapes from our own vineyards. Harvesting and all of the work in the cellar takes place at the appropriate cosmic rhythms in accordance with the biodynamic calendar. Fermentations are exclusively spontaneous, and all wines also undergo spontaneous biological fermentation. They are bottled without filtration and with a minimal touch of sulfur just before bottling."

Vipava Valley is right on the border of Slovenia, just north of the Italian port city of Trieste. The area is made up of steep hills, where the continental climate of the Alps collides with the more moderate mild Mediterranean climate from the Adriatic. Vineyards are located on steep, karst mountain tops, where the temperature is cooler and the soil contains mineral-rich marl, which makes it incredibly helpful in drainage of rainfall.

Guerila Blanc de Nature is a uniquely splendid sparkling, The wine pours a pale yellow with amber and rose-copper hues, emphasized by exquisitely fine bubbles. The nose is
deeply rich and complex, with notes of pie crust, sweet cherry, nectarine and yellow fruits. On the palate, it is elegant and full with freshness, packed with notes of lemon cream, red cherry, a subtle minty minerality and endlessly cleansing bubbles.
