Tasel is an organic dessert wine made of white muscat grapes that are dried in vineyard for as long as conditions allow it. If the concentration of sugar is not high enough, grapes are dried in the cellar until the level of the sweetness reaches the necessary values.
Grapes are hand-picked, de-stemmed, and macerated few days before pressing. The rest of the fermentation goes on in the small wooden barrels. It is aged in the same barrels for about a year and a half to two years.

Tasel is a wonderful dessert wine with shades of golden colour and visible thick wine drops. Amazing natural sweetness and fragrant smell that is better than even the most expensive perfume - this is a perfect description of Tasel from Clai!

Clai estate lies in Istria, in Krasica, a small village south of the town of Buje in the northern part of the Istrian peninsula, close to the Slovenian and Italian border. The property encompasses 10 hectares of vineyards and 5 hectares of olive trees. Around 200m above sea level, the vineyards enjoy plenty of sunshine as well as cool and salty sea breezes coming from the Adriatic some 10 km to the west. The soil here is limestone flysch – its low fertility and good drainage provide the perfect amount of stress for our old vines. Clai Winery's main principle is that the best wines are made in the vineyard, not in the cellar, so their work is focused on enhancing the terroir. All of the production of Clai WInery has been certified organic from the very beginning. There are no systemic treatments such as herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides. The fertilization is minimal and occasional, using only organic and natural manure. After coming to the cellar, the grapes are vinified in a natural way, with spontaneous fermentation on the skins and without the addition of enzymes, selected yeasts, or malolactic bacteria. The wines are mellowed in wooden barrels of various sizes, with a long stay on the lees. After nearly two years the wines are bottled without micro or sterile filtering.
