Welschriesling Orange 2021

100% Welschriesling. The wine was produced using an ancient method of white wine production. The same process as with red wines was used, where the grapes underwent a 15-day fermentation period with the skins without the addition of yeast. The grapes were harvested from the Kalvária vineyard, from a 10-year-old vineyard, with a sugar content of 22.00 NM°. Spontaneous fermentation took place with the skins, and the wine subsequently matured for 9 months on fine sediment in used barriques.

The wine was made using a traditional method without the use of selected yeasts, enzymes, or other additives. It was not clarified or filtered. Due to minimal sulfite content, the wine is suitable even for individuals sensitive to sulfur dioxide, with a total sulfur content of 26 mg/l.

CHARACTERISTICS

A lighter straw-yellow color with subtle cloudiness. Very fresh, unobscured pure fruity aroma. Natural grape flavor dominates, intertwined with ripe apples, pears, and white peaches, along with hints of tea infusions and minerals. The medium-bodied clean taste is exceptionally fresh and juicy, relatively substantial at 12.50% alcohol. Fine-grained tannins accentuate the structure. We can certainly identify such a wild one. An excellent natural orange Welschriesling with fantastic 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.
