Traminer (25%), Chardonnay (20%), Sauvignon blanc (35%), Feteasca regala (20%)
The grapes are harvested from a vineyard in Novej Vieska in the Nagyhegy hunting area. The vineyard is managed under certified organic conditions and is adjacent to the protected natural reserve of Drieňová hora (Cherry Hill). The name of the wine is a reference to the ancient name of the village Nová Vieska, dating back to the 13th century.
Tramin and Chardonnay are macerated on the skins, while Pesecká leánka and Sauvignon Blanc undergo a 2-day maceration on the skins. Each variety is vinified separately, and then the wines are blended together before being bottled. The production follows traditional methods without the use of selected yeasts, enzymes, or other additives. The total sulfur content is kept below 25 mg/l.
CHARACTERISTICS
The chosen form of vinification dominates in this wine. Forget about varietal characteristics and preconceived schemes; surrender yourself to the pleasure of the positive energy of the excellent terroir of Nove Viesky. It has a fuller straw-yellow color with a subtle shade. Despite the skin maceration, the aroma gradually opens up in a very delicate manner, with a dominance of ripe yellow apple and pear, green tones, and a touch of lees. It is medium-bodied, dry in the mouth, wonderfully fresh, and juicy. Citrus fruits, white fruits, and lees accentuate the structure. An excellent piece packed with a burst of energy!
