The Batič Brajda vineyard is the first vineyard of resistant wine varieties planted in Slovenia. Twenty different varieties resistant to fungal diseases of the vine thrive there. The grapes from this unsprayed vineyard are the signature wines of Marlon Brajda. The varietal composition varies in proportions from year to year. However, all Marlon Brajda vintages share a taste signed by the botrytis noble. Marlon is fermented spontaneously with its own yeasts. After 18 months of maturation on fine lees, Marlon Brajda is bottled without filtration and without fining. In extremely dry harvests, when noble botrytis is not present on the grapes, this wine is not made. In such cases, the same grapes are used to produce our sweet wine – Valentino Blanc.
