Strekov 1075 - Veltlin 2022
This Grüner Veltliner offers a twist on the familiar, with a slightly nutty and oxidative character that adds depth and intrigue. Bright citrus notes and a hint of white pepper bring a refreshing spiciness, while ripe pears lend a subtle roundness to the palate. It's a unique take on the variety, balancing complexity and freshness in a way that feels both distinctive and approachable.

Vinification
After the bunches were de-stemmed and pressed, the juice was spontaneously fermenting in 300l Zemplén oak barrels. For the next 6 - 8 months the wine was ageing under flor without the barrels being topped up. It was bottled unfined, unfiltered with no addition of SO2.
