Taste Block

Tasting Notes

Furmint is best know in Hungary, but it is also grown further south in Slovenia, Serbia and Croatia, where it is often referred to as Šipon. Matija Žerjav ("Matic") is a third generation winemaker in northern Slovenia. His Šipon is a wonder, with generous, golden stone fruit, fresh orange and lemon zest, tropical fruit and brilliant acidity.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Slovenian Furmint’s brisk acidity, orchard-fruit purity, and minerally drive make it a natural match for clean, savory dishes with subtle aromatics. Its mix of citrus, green apple, and gentle herbal notes complements fresh herbs and lightly spiced preparations, while its lean, focused structure pairs well with delicately textured proteins. The wine’s tension and clarity suit grilled river fish, simple poultry, vegetable-forward plates, and dishes where bright flavors and a touch of smoke or salt bring out its precision.

About the Producer

Founded by winemaker Matija Žerjav—known universally as “Matic”—Matic Wines farms roughly 9 hectares of vineyards in Slovenia’s rolling Štajerska region, where marl and clay soils naturally produce bright, expressive whites. A champion of organic and biodynamic viticulture, Matic works by hand in the vineyards and ferments exclusively with native yeasts. The estate is best known for its vibrant, mineral-driven interpretations of regional varieties such as Šipon (Furmint), Kerner, and Pinot Gris, including several acclaimed skin-contact bottlings that showcase Matic’s commitment to low-intervention techniques and authentic, vineyard-first winemaking.
