The Roxanich Zara 5/6 is a complex and layered wine that continues to change and evolve over the course of the evening: a field blend of not less than seven grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Vermentino, Glera, Friulano and Riesling Italico. The Roxanich Zara 5/6 retains the original fruitiness of the grape, but pleasantly surprises the palate with some hearty richness of secondary aromas, as result of up to 90 days contact with original tannins extracted out of the skin and pips of the grapes. The wine is bottled without clarification or stabilization, after up to nine years of careful ageing in wooden vats, barrels and giaras. Zara features a spectacular aroma of dried apricot, orange blossom, oriental spices and saffron, as well as light nutty hints. The yeasty and fruity dryness impact is intense. Gentle in the beginning, Zara develops to full complexity on the palate, with long lasting lovely orange tannins that linger on the finish. It’s dry and full-bodied, rounded off by an irresistible freshness, remarkable amber color and gentle acidity.
