Salty and feisty with rich brioche notes that give a nod to Champagne. A super drinkable, lip-smackingly fresh pet-nat as energetic as its color suggests.

The grapes are hand-harvested and then destemmed. The wine ferments for about 14 days without temperature control in stainless steel tanks. Just before it finishes fermentation, it is moved into bottles under crown cap to finish as a pet-nat. “Dirty” disgorged in February of the following year, zero additions.

Strekov 1075

Zsolt Sütó cultivates 12 hectares of vines in the village of Strekov, in Slovakia. The vineyards are located on the terraces of Pohronska pahorkatina, featuring ponds and marshland that create a unique microclimate. The top layer of soil consists of clay-loam, which lays above the marine sediments, sandstone, and limestone veins. Deeper soil layers consist of yellow and blue-gray clay. Zsolt’s fermentations take place in open-topped barrels with no sulfur and no intervention, he also uses a lot of skin maceration, aging under voile to create naturally strong and stable wines. As of the 2017 vintage. Zsolt was very happy to vinify and bottle all of his wines with zero additions of sulfur.
