Production of the Antonia Blend

The grapes grow in the Slovenian subregion of Štajerska Slovenija. The Podravje growing area is one of the country’s defining wine regions.

Clay and sand characterise the soils of the selected sites. Their composition supports balanced ripening and preserves aromatic freshness.

The grapes are harvested by hand. This step allows the grapes to be carefully selected in the vineyard.

After gentle processing, the wine matures in stainless steel tanks. This preserves its fruit-driven, clear style with precision.

This is followed by 18 months of bottle ageing. This period gives the blend additional harmony and a rounded texture.

The maturation process combines technical precision with a modern understanding of Slovenian wine tradition. Wood does not take centre stage.

Instead, the style focuses on fruit, freshness and a smooth mouthfeel. The delicate residual sweetness blends harmoniously into the overall profile.

The wine is bottled in a modern Bordeaux bottle. The minimalist design emphasises the wine’s straightforward presentation.

A traditional cork serves as the closure. The 0.75-litre bottle size is suitable for sharing at the table.

The protected designation of origin PDO refers to the clearly defined provenance. It complements the profile of this Slovenian white wine speciality.

MURSA Cuvée Antonia off-dry - MARO Wine is suited to wine enthusiasts who appreciate aromatic freshness and creamy fullness.

Serving Suggestions for the Antonia Blend

Serve the white wine at 9 to 11 degrees Celsius. Within this temperature range, the fruit, acidity and floral nuances unfold in particularly balanced fashion.

Store the bottle horizontally in a cool, dark place. Consistent temperatures preserve the wine’s aromatic balance and delicate freshness.
