Jordan Cigoj - Zelén "clean and bright"

In Slovenia, they produce a wonderful summer white they describe as "fresh". I agree with the "fresh" moniker. The wine is clean and bright with citrusy, dry overtones. At 12% alcohol it is easy drinking on a hot summers day.
I'm told that all Zelén (the grape varietal) wines are shipped in the same similar curvaceous bottle with hanging labels, so it can be confusing (to non-Slovenians) to identify different producers. And, just to confuse you, the bottle pictured illustrates my point. It is a different maker of zelén. I have not tried the bottle to the left yet.
