The de baguer line is named after count silveri de baguer, a diplomat, wine enthusiast, and collector, who was also the last owner of dobrovo castle. The de baguer single vineyard merlot is made in limited quantities less than 1,800 bottles , with grapes from the twenty-year-old vrh vineyard, located in the village of vipolze. After harvesting and vinification, the finished wine ages for two years in barrels in the historic cellar of the renaissance dobrovo castle.

Its aromatic profile is broad and ripe, with fragrant notes of berries and blackberry, interspersed with spicy, balsamic notes, and hints of tobacco. On the palate, it is soft and full, smooth, and well-balanced. It has silky tannins and a refreshing acidity. The finish is long and warm. Try it with venison stew, tagliatelle with wild boar, or spicy beef brisket.
