100% Blaufränkisch

Grapes harvested in the vicinity of Svätý Jur from a vineyard managed in an ecological regime, aged 36 years. Hand-picked, spontaneous fermentation. Maceration/fermentation on the skins outside the press for 21 days. The wine matures in neutral oak barrels on sediment for 12 months, handled mechanically without strain, and bottled by gravity.

Unclear, unfiltered. Wine produced without the use of selected yeasts, enzymes, and other oenological additives; total sulfur content is only 30 mg per liter of wine.

Everything in the wine fits together, nothing disturbs, nothing stands out. Excellent aging potential; in a few years, it will be a showcase piece. The wine is characterized by purity, fruitiness, and elegance. After opening, give the wine a minute to breathe. In the glass, it presents itself with a sparkling ruby-red color of medium intensity with violet reflections. Elegant aroma with a dominance of red fruit, along with hints of flowers, spices, and earthy minerality. Medium-bodied, velvety fine-grained tannins. Great balance between fruitiness and well-integrated acidity, enhancing freshness and juiciness. Impressive finish with a feeling of freshness and a basket of fruit on the palate.

Naboso

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.
