This is the bottle of Marvla Tindo we find ourselves opening the most often. It makes a lovely house white. To have only a bottle on hand is not enough. The motivation behind its production is clearly that of function. It is a blend of Welschriesling, Rhine Riesling, and Leánka macerated together for a few hours, pressed and spontaneously fermented in a stainless steel tank. then aged sur lie. Tramín 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. Juicy and thoughtful with aromas and flavors tree blossom and white fleshed fruit, 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.
