Riesling from the Kelhar family's vineyards in Bizeljsko, planted on schist, clay and limestone and now 16 to 25 years old. The grapes are picked by hand and given a short, two-day skin maceration before pressing — enough to add a little texture without pushing the wine into orange territory. It then ages for 12 months in large oak barrels.

No fining, no filtration, nothing added beyond what fermentation itself produces. A straightforward, acid-driven Riesling built for easy, unfussy drinking, at 12.0% alcohol.

100% Riesling, hand-harvested from 16–25 year old vines on schist, clay and limestone soils in Bizeljsko. The grapes see two days of skin maceration before pressing, then age for 12 months in large oak barrels. No fining, no filtration and no added sulphites — like all fermented wine it contains some naturally, hence the sulphites declaration on the label. Labelled as a Dry White Wine with RGI (Regional Geographical Indication) Posavje, certified organic, 12.0% alcohol. Keltis has been certified organic since 2009 and Demeter certified since 2022. Spontaneous fermentation with ambient yeasts is standard practice at the estate.
