Danilo Šnajder

The Slovenian winemakers at Verus bring out the best in Sauvignon Blanc with this expressive wine, full of fresh minerality, citrus, and hints of tropical fruit. Could they have drawn inspiration from New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc?

Winemaker's words:

“In 2017, my friends Božidar Grabovac, Rajko Zlikar, and I founded Verus Venogradi. We knew each other from working at Jeruzalem Ormož, one of Slovenia's most famous wineries. After that, we decided to start on our own. We all come from families with a long history of winemaking, and it is wonderful that we can now continue this tradition. Our goal is to create wines that showcase the different grape varieties we use at their best and that reflect the terroir of our wine region.”
