Dorcha is the passion project of Izidor Vehovar, a third-generation vintner who diverges from tradition towards a more approachable winemaking ethos. Embracing local practices, Izidor crafts pure, dynamic wines that reflect the terroir. Influenced by neighbor Nick Gee of Heaps Good Wine Co., Vehovar blends tradition with modern techniques, introducing exciting, naturally made wines to his family's legacy. This aromatic blend, with three weeks of skin contact, offers intense flavors of orange pith, dried mango, savory spice, and dried herbs, all framed by vibrant acidity and structured tannins. 

Pairing: Biryani Rice
