MARVLA TINDO


OWNER/WINEMAKER:
Vlado Kuny, Martin Danielic.
REGION: Sitno Volcano.


Marvla TINDO is a decision of two different people who have a common goal, vision and dream - WINE. Our small winery with a production of 8,000 to 10,000 liters per year was established in 2009 and focuses on the production of wines with a terroir imprint and the character acquired in the vineyard. The less we do, the more we find out who we really are. We let nature and time speak, because we think that witnessing a process is more than being its supposed director.

“We often encounter the fact that the winery will start to prosper, increase production and the quality will decrease. By being a micro-winemaker, we can deal with wines systematically. We can use natural methods, only physical interventions, we don't need to go to the security offered by today's advanced science, and we create a parental relationship with every wine. Every year is climatically unique, which offers a raw material with a unique composition, which determines the chosen technological process.” - MarTIN Danielič and VlaDO Kuny

Behind the Marvla TINDO winery are marTIN and vlaDO, two friends who decided not only to debate and taste wine, but also to make their own. They designed and dug a new cellar on the outskirts of the district town of Levice, in the wine-growing part, where Levice vineyards and hajloky have been since time immemorial, at the foot of the Sitno volcano. Each year, they discover new possibilities for vineyards planted on the volcanic bedrock.

"LET NATURE AND TIME SPEAK, BECAUSE WE THINK THAT WITNESSING THE PROCESS IS MORE THAN BEING ITS SUPPOSED DIRECTOR," AGREE MARTIN DANIELIC AND VLADO KUNY.


They watch why vineyards are planted somewhere and somewhere, why our ancestors planted varieties such as planted, which are the original varieties, how to minimize interference in the cellar, but also how wooden barrels work and what effect the vintage has on wine. The wines in the marvla Tindo winery ferment on natural yeasts, allowing the grapes to show their terroir. Subsequently, they lie and mature on fine sludge in Slovak barriques, without filtration and any other interventions from the outside. Thanks to the wine, they suddenly look with new eyes at the landscape below the Sitno volcano. Suddenly, wine is not a goal, but a way to get to know the world around you

A handful of bottles that made there way to a preeminent wine competition in Vienna opened the eyes of Martin and Vlado and many doors. It was an underdog and a champion, and remains that. An exemplary rendition of the grape sort. Full of violets and grapefruits, camphor and coffee, spicy, woodsy, long and scintillating with agile tannins and Habsburgian charm.

Dry frothy delight of a cider, made from what is probably an old table variety. Bottled late in fermentation without disgorging it is an apple based pet-nat. The yeast bolsters the character of the fruit and the finish exhibits the same sweet minerality that is so enjoyable in the MARVLA TINDO wines.

No vintage.

LOCATION:
LEVICE, SITNO VOLCANO, TEKOVSKÝ, NITRA, SLOVAKIA.

VLADO KUNY AND MARTIN DANELIČ.

VOLCANIC TUFF, OTHER VULCAN.
VINIFICATION:
2 VINTAGES AGED IN OAK, COMBINED WITH FRESH MUST FOR BUBBLES.
BOTTLED:
OCTOBER 2020.

Rizling Vlašský, 2 vintages from the same vineyard, vinified in used barrel. While unconventional this is the premier expression of welschriesling. It is perhaps the greatest seafood wine ever made in a landlocked country. While it is possible to separate the wine from the sediment either by decanting or manually disgorging it, we recommend shaking the bottle before chilling it well so the yeast is incorporated. The finely integrated bubbles move slowly up the glass. The wine has an oiliness, but drinks quite light. The aromas are beguiling and ever changing. Ranging from pear, to hay to anise or tarragon. A sophisticated aperitif to serve alongside chilled shellfish.

2021 Proza 


LOCATION:
LEVICE, SITNO VOLCANO, TEKOVSKÝ, NITRA, SLOVAKIA.
WINE MAKERS:
VLADO KUNY AND MARTIN DANELIČ.
GRAPE(S):
RIESLING VLAŠSKÝ 40%, RIESLING RÝNSKY 40%, PESECKÁ LEÁNKA 10%, TRAMÍN 10%.
SOIL:
VOLCANIC TUFF, OTHER VULCAN.
VINIFICATION:
DIRECT PRESS, STAINLESS STEEL, A TOUCH OF ŠTIVINICA OAK.
BOTTLES PRODUCED:
2500.

Welsch and Rhine Rieslings, and Leánka are macerated together for a few hours pressed and spontaneously fermented in stainless steel tank, then aged sur lie. Tramin of the previous vintage aged in Štiavnica oak is added to the fermenting rieslings near the end of fermentation to homogenize. In the finish it is a wine to open often and repeatedly. Aromatic in a citric floral way but not excessively, some vintages have a bit of fizz others are quiet but there remains a certain vivacity. Martin makes the wine making choices for Proza, It's sibling Poezia a red, the choices are Vlado's both think the other makes the better choices in typical vintages.
