FROM MAREK UHNÁK….

You’ll find me if you want me in the garden. Unless it’s pouring down with rain. You will find me waiting for the cherries to ripen. You will find me waiting for them to reign. beginning of September 2022 Destemmed and crushed, 3 days of skin-maceration. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, on lees until January, racked and rested until bottling in May 2023. Table Short, gentle maceration captures the energy and tanginess of the volcanic soil it grew on. Lush, playful rosé with plenty of grapefruit & forest fruit notes, refreshing, crowd pleasing and smooth with its “strawberries & cream” mouthfeel. Aperitivo. Mediterranean dishes of all sorts– cold Minestrone soup, mezze starters, grilled prawns, chicken or vegetable skewers. Fresh colorful salads and veg dishes, light fruity desserts (not too sweet).
