Riesling Orange 2021

100% Riesling

The wine was produced using an ancient method of white wine production. The same process as with red wines was employed, where the grapes underwent fermentation for 15 days together with their skins, without the addition of yeast. The grapes were harvested from the Kalvária vineyard, a 19-year-old vineyard, with a sugar content of 22.50 NM°. The spontaneous fermentation took place with the skins, and the wine subsequently matured for 9 months on fine sediment in used oak barrels.

The wine was made using a traditional method without the use of selected yeasts, enzymes, or other additives. It was neither clarified nor filtered. Due to minimal sulfite content, the wine is also suitable for individuals sensitive to sulfur dioxide, with a total sulfur content of 29 mg/l.

CHARACTERISTICS

Given the chosen vinification method, the orange Riesling is a true connoisseur’s choice. Traces of maceration are relatively delicate and subtle. Straw-yellow color with a gentle haze. The intense fruity aroma is exceptionally harmonious, featuring ripe white and tropical fruits on the nose, touches of dried herbs, hay, and minerals. Medium-full dry taste, balanced with good structure. On the palate, there are notes of citrus, white fruit, and minerality. The wine’s character is accentuated by subtle traces of hay. Excellently integrated acidity enhances its freshness and juiciness. A delightful orange Riesling with a long finish and excellent drinkability!

Our wine must be stable, without faults, drinkable, enjoyable and above all: we must like it, otherwise it will not leave our cellar.

Naboso, a project by the couple Nadja and Andrej in the Slovak town of Svätý Jur, is a 5 ha vineyard on the western foothills of the Carpathians, near the Austrian border, their vineyards feature Welschriesling, Traminer, Blaufränkisch, Grüner Veltliner, and a touch of Müller Thurgau, thriving on sandy granite soils.

Naboso follows low-intervention practices in both the vineyard and cellar. With Andrej’s 10 years of winemaking experience and Nadja’s German roots, combined with patience and gentle aging, they produce stable, flawless, and delicious wines.

 

Cellar work is precise, utilizing gravity for must transfer to barrels. The wines, aged for about 3 years, include whites with extended maceration and reds matured in used oak and acacia barrels, bottled unfiltered. A minimal amount of sulfur is added judiciously before bottling.

Described as supple, energetic, and ever-evolving, Naboso’s natural wines reflect the character of the region. The couple takes pride in creating great wine, with each bottle leaving their cellar meant to excite and delight.
