  The ‘Verus’ winery, a newcomer to the Slovenian wine scene (founded in 2007, 10 hectares), produces beautiful white wines, grown on the slopes of the Jeruzalem-Ormož hills (north-eastern part of Slovenia, bordering Hungary and Croatia). Interesting Furmint wine (the classic white grape variety of Hungary’s Tokaji wine) with a beautiful greenish golden color and attractive scents of yellow apple, stone fruit, orange blossom and some grassy notes. Good fruit concentration on the palate with an opulent mouth feel and a lively but ripe acidity. Serious aftertaste with a slight touch of oak. A perfect aperitif wine. This wine is at its peak now.
  
  Het wijngoed 'Verus' – een nieuwkomer op de Sloveense markt (opgericht in 2007, 10 hectaren) – produceert prachtige witte wijnen, geteeld op de hellingen van de Jeruzalem-Ormož-heuvels (noordoosten van Slovenië, nabij de grens met Hongarije en Kroatië). Interessante Furmint-wijn (de klassieke witte druif van de beroemde Hongaarse Tokaji-wijn) met een schitterende gouden kleur met groene schakeringen en een aantrekkelijke neus van gele appel, steenvruchten, oranjebloesem en wat nuances van gras. In de mond: heerlijk geconcentreerd fruit met een weelderige mondvulling en een levendige maar rijpe aciditeit. Deftige afdronk met een lichte eiktoets. Een perfecte aperitief-wijn, die nu op zijn hoogtepunt is.

  Pale yellow with hint of green on the edges, nose is a funky mix of wet rocks and earth, crisp on the palate, nice mid palate acidity, notes of apricot and honey. Nice

  Monthly Tasting Group LTB 2013-04; Slovenia (By HV): Apples, limestone and the impression of some oak in the bouquet. On the palate apple and tart lime as well as some limestone minerals. Ok acidity here, but a short finish.

  Pale green-yellow. Restrained quince, yellow apple. Dry, medium full bodied with crisp acid and a satiny mouthfeel. Nice mineral finish.
