Dobrovo, Nova Gorica, September 9, 2009 - The presentation evening was held at the Calypso restaurant in Hit's Perla gaming and entertainment centre in Nova Gorica, where a new sparkling wine, belonging to the Quercus brand name, was presented yesterday for the very first time. The menu for the dinner, given on the occasion of the Nova Gorica municipal holiday, was created by Borut Jakič, a chef and international award-winning cook, while the new sparkling wine was presented by Zdenka Blašković, a professional oenologist.

On the eve of the Nova Gorica municipal holiday, the Wine Cellar presented a new wine in a range of the topmost Brda sparkling wines - Rosé Quercus Sparkling Wine. In order to emphasize its elegance, drinkable character as well as its universality, the Cellar put it on a par with the excellent cuisine of Perla's Calypso restaurant, which was characterized by the distinctive dishes of Brda on the one hand, and by the elegance of rose-based dishes on the other.
Rosé Quercus Sparkling Wine is produced exclusively from pinot noir, which gives the wine a delicate rose-pink, violet colour, plus the fruity scent of cherries, raspberries and berries. The aging "sur lie" has contributed to the balanced and rich release of carbonic acid, which emphasizes the sparkling and fresh characteristics of this wine. This fruity, elegant sparkling wine is not only an excellent aperitif but also a pleasant and drinkable dry wine, which will be served by sommeliers, cooks and gourmets also with several other dishes.
The Goriška Brda Wine Cellar has not only a long- established tradition of producing sparkling wines but also valuable experiences and awards. The Rosé sparkling wine follows Rebula and Quercus sparkling wine, which was awarded a gold medal in 2007 at the Verona International Wine Competition, which is known as one of the most important wine competitions in Europe. Thanks to its characteristics, the new sparkling wine is placed among the newest wine trends, but at the same time it remains distinctively and for certain a wine of Goriška Brda.
Considering that sparkling wines are becoming increasingly more popular in the wine market, the Goriška Brda Wine Cellar expects a high demand for it. This is why it will be available for sale only in Goriška Brda wine shops as well as in the best restaurants throughout Slovenia.
