Strekov 1075 - Don Zsolt

Riesling Pét-Nat!

The grapes are hand harvested then destemmed. The wine ferments for about 40 days without temperature control. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tank and just before it is finished fermentation it is moved into bottle under crown cap to finish as a pet nat. The wine is undisorged with zero additions.

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 creates 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.
