Varietal Composition: 100% Vranec

Taste description: 

The color of this wine is incredibly deep and intense, which in the best possible way reflects the meaning of the name Vranec (black stallion). The aromas are intense and complex, with clear notes of cherry, blackberry, blueberry, and chokeberry. The taste of this is an extremely complex and rich wine with a pronounced full body where notes of cherry, blackberry and chokeberry reappear. Tannins are rich, but incredibly delicate, velvety, and well blended. Despite the pronounced dominance and power, Vranec Victory is incredibly well-balanced, fascinatingly elegant, harmonious, and drinkable wine. The aftermath is extremely long. 

Food pairing:

It is wonderful in combination with pork roast in prunes, steak and blue cheese sauce.
