Tomaz Teran Barbarossa 2017
Tomaz Teran Barbarossa 2017 is produced exclusively from the grape variety Teran from the Motovun Vineyard, aged 18 months in wooden oak barrels. It is characterized by a ruby-red color, which when being swirled in a glass, has a purple hue. The aroma is fine, accentuated, and recognizable. It is of a typical fruity character dominated by mature raspberry. It has a relatively high content of total acids and a certain presence of astringency, which blended into a high extract gives this wine a characteristic taste of a full, strong, robust, but at the same time pleasantly blended wine. Thanks to its eclectic fullness, consistency, and large amounts of polyphenols, it is also considered to have healing properties.
Due to its characteristics, Teran Barbarossa is an ideal wine partner for dried meat products, cheese, and dishes based on meat and venison, as well as fish prepared with spicy sauces. Its characteristics are best pronounced if it is consumed at a temperature of about 16 °C. dishes.

The tradition of viticulture and winemaking in the Tomaz family, handed down from generation to generation, has existed since 1918. The winery is located at the foot of the ancient town of Motovun, and our 16 ha of vineyards are situated on its slopes. Annual production reaches up to 100 000 bottles, and the predominant varieties are Istrian Malvazia and other autochthonous varieties such as Teran and Muscat. Another important variety produced is Merlot, while rosé and sparkling wine are produced from Teran. The special advantage of Tomaz wines is the microclimatic conditions at the intersection of the Mediterranean and continental climates that lead to significant differences in daytime and nighttime temperatures, which helps grape ripening and enriches the wine with very intense aromas.
