The Dorcha labels highlight key natural variables in minimal intervention winemaking. This Frankinja (Blaufränkisch) pays homage to the climate shaping each vintage. Štajerska’s cool reds are bright and light, and Izidor Pionier’s carbonic maceration here. Ruby-hued, it bursts with red fruit, white pepper, and rustic charm. Fresh, silky, and tart, it pairs beautifully with cured meats and wild mushroom soup.

This 100% Blaufränkisch comes from Ritoznoj in Lower Styria (Štajerska), Slovenia, where a continental climate brings hot, dry summers and snowy winters. The vines grow at altitudes between 300 and 400 meters in soils composed of marl, sand, and clay. Farming is environmentally sustainable, with no irrigation or herbicides, ensuring a deep respect for the land. Hand-harvested whole bunches are placed directly into tanks, which are then filled with carbon dioxide and sealed. After 32 days, the wine is pressed off the skins, with the final 15% of fermentation completed in the tank.
Dorcha wines highlight the natural forces that shape each vintage. This Blaufränkisch embodies Štajerska’s signature cool-climate style—vibrant, fresh, and elegantly light-bodied. Inspired by the drinkable charm of Beaujolais, Izidor is among the first in the region to use carbonic maceration for Modra Frankinja, creating an exciting and highly expressive wine.
Ruby in colour, it bursts with aromas of ripe red berries, white pepper, and a hint of earthiness. The palate is bright and juicy, layered with aromatic strawberry and plum, balanced acidity, and a silky mid-palate. Delicate spice and lively tannins lead to a crisp, mouthwatering finish.
