Harvest notes

Harvesting took place by varieties in the morning. Each variety waited for the moment of appropriate ripeness of the grapes. The grapes are nurtured in a nature-friendly way, are strictly selected and are picked exclusively by hand.

Vinification

The grapes were immediately pressed, and then each variety was fermented separately with indigenous yeasts. After the fermentation was completed, we performed typification and stored the wine in a chilled steel tank.

Ageing

After typification, the wine matures in refrigerated stainless steel tanks and waits to be bottled just before sale.


A culinary tip

A culinary tip

It should be served with grilled chicken and salad in the shadow on a sunny summer afternoon. You should also try it with sauteed asparagus wrapped in bacon.
