From the Winemaker:

"...no hardcore tannins or long macerations, but rather a fine, normal skin contact wine with great energy, distinguished aromatics, and only a hint of the “orangey” character. (Full disclosure: I don't enjoy the term “orange wine” very much.)

We use Chardonnay, Gruner Veltliner, Sauvignon and a little bit of Traminer, coming from our various vineyards in both Moravský Žižkov and Velké Bílovice. Fermented mostly as whole berries, without stomping and with only gentle punch-downs, 5 – 7 days depending on the variety. All this in order to get only a gentle extraction, to make this wine as palatable and drinkable as possible (talking big gulps here). Aged for cca 11 months half in old oak, half in stainless steel tank, then bottled unfined, unfiltered, unsulfured. Each variety gave the best of their skins, and the resulting wine is vivid, fun, and just enough talkative for it to be the best of companions."
