The site is characterized by sandy soils that contribute to the wine’s aromatic lift and tension. Milan Nestarec farms his vines under certified organic principles, with careful attention to biodiversity and soil health. Neuburger, Müller-Thurgau and Muscat are grown and harvested together as a traditional field blend, hand-picked at the same time and rigorously selected in the vineyard. The whole clusters are pressed very gently, and the juice is allowed to ferment spontaneously with native yeasts in stainless steel for about 70 days. Before fermentation fully finishes, the wine is bottled to complete its fermentation under crown cap, creating a naturally sparkling pét-nat with no dosage and minimal intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis pét-nat is a natural match for vibrant, casual food: think fresh goat cheese, charcuterie boards, light fried dishes, sushi, ceviche, summer salads with citrus or herbs, and mildly spiced Asian or Middle Eastern cuisine.
