The Roxanich Sauvage is bottled without filtration after up to 9 years in large wooden vats and barrels. It’s certainly one of the greatest wines Mladen Rožanić produced, delivering magnificent aromas of candied plums, currant jelly, dried rose petals, blackberry compote with hints of liquorice, medium to deep garnet in color.

Full bodied, rich and mellow, it reveals a layer after layer of spice box flavors. As decadent and varied as a spice market, Sauvage is rich, red and tangy and will be irresistible to lovers of Cabernet Sauvignon.

The wine is incredibly smooth, deep, with well-rounded tannins. The finish is magnificent and continues with length and persistence. There is serious magic in this wine. A monumental, complex wine for indomitable people.

Roxanich is an artisan winery of rare, long aged, premium, natural wines, from ancient Venetian lands. Rožanić family’s wine adventure in Istria began 30 years ago. Roxanich is an artisan winery of rare, long aged, premium, natural wines, from ancient Venetian lands. Since the beginning our focus has been an uncompromising attitude towards quality and to produce authentic wines in harmony with nature. The Swiss entrepreneur Mladen Rožanić, founded his avantgarde winery in Motovun with single estate vineyards in Bušura and Bačva, Istria, and runs it still today personally with his six daughters, the eponymous Sorelle, with focus on uncompromising quality. Mladen Rožanić is perhaps best described as the first movie director of wine. He displays his own handwriting - outsider in the wine business - thinking honest but big, and creating equally honest but big wines. He creates spaces for taste-jumps never seen before, delicate and elegant, unified in one single glass of wine. No winemaker has shaped the natural wine scene like Mladen Rožanić in recent years. With a maximum of knowledge, he brings wines to bottles with a minimum of intervention. Today every Roxanich wine is a reflection of the magical place where it was created and the strict natural, organic philosophy behind it. Roxanich wines are produced in small, exclusive quantities, which stubbornly counter today’s fast, aggressive commercial production outputs. No matter what your preference is, you will find a perfect bottle for any occasion. Our selection of 20 labels, including a new sparkling wine and a fortified wine, ranges from light and refreshing whites and rosés, to rich, long aged and macerated white, orange and red wines. Our exclusive showrooms are located at Brand New Wines in Zurich, Switzerland, and inside the new Winery and Design Hotel in Motovun, Istria.
