Terroir

All our vineyards are in the Výhon Nature Park (Village Nosislav) on slopes with an average slope of 20 degre- es. The subsoil is overwhelmingly clay, loess and limestone. The orientation is south to south-west. The altitude is about 200 m above sea level. In autumn, daytime temperatures are normally around 25-30 degrees Celsius but at night they drop below 10. As a result, we have grapes that are beautifully ripe but still beautifully fruity with strong acidity. Our approach to the soil and nature is fundamental, where we build maximum biodiversity and also approach winemaking partly biodynamically. We try to let nature express itself as much as possible and interfere with it as little as possible.

Vinification

Maceration for about 45 days, then pressing, sedimentation and as with 100% of our wines: completely spontaneous fermentation without added yeasts or any intervention.
