Stavek, PN 2018 1.5L

Vineyard: 1ha plot of loess/clay, south-west exposure. Planted 2005, certified organic and farmed by Richard himself.

Making of: Grapes are hand-harvested and whole bunches are fermented semi-carbonically in open-topped wood tanks for about 10 days with only indigenous yeast. The grapes are foot stomped and pressed after fermentation completes, and then spend 10 months of elevage in 600-liter barrels, with battonage performed 6 times. The wine is unfined, unfiltered, a bit of sulfur added before bottling.
