The last for the year. This is going to be a little lame, if you use google you'll get the answer in 2.1 seconds, see if you can come up with the answer without google, show some restraint.
Some background to todayÂ’s quiz:
The Kapela Winery's 172 hectares (425 acres) of vineyards lie on such excellent sites as Rozicki Vrh, Kaliscak, and Murscak. The soils in this part of Radgona-Kapela are somewhat heavier and contain more clay, tending to retain moisture better so the grapevines are less likely to suffer from drought. The winery produces 1200 tons of grapes in its own vineyards, and a further 130 tons are purchased annually from neighbouring growers.
The Kapela winery specializes in white varieties, Laski Rizling being dominant. They also produce Sipon, Beli Pinot, Chardonnay, Traminec, and other white wines.
Traminec occupies less than 5% of Kapela's vineyards, but some of it comes from the 1.8 hectare (4.45 acres) of the oldest Traminec vines in Slovenia. As forty years is a venerable age for a grafted grapevine, the yield from this vineyard is rather low; however, the Kapela winegrowers maintain it produces a more balanced wine with a particularly gentle aroma.
Two thirds of Kapela's production is Kapelcan, a quality blend of Beli Pinot and Chardonnay. The rest is high-quality varietal wines.
Bozicno Vino Â… is labeled as jagodni izbor, although it usually achieves at least suhi jagodni izbor Â… depending on the weather.
HereÂ’s the question: What is the significance of Bozicno Vino, i.e. why have I mentioned it?
