Pinot Gris - Nitra Region
Bottle's price: 18 EUR
Els Bassots is a captivating skin-contact Chenin Blanc from Conca de Barberà. Made biodynamically at around 450 metres of altitude, the grapes benefit from a dry climate moderated by cool sea winds. They are harvested by hand and macerated on their skins for roughly ten days before fermenting with native yeasts in stainless steel. Afterward, the wine rests for about one year in neutral French oak barrels, without filtering or fining, and without added sulphites. This approach gives the wine a light golden hue, creamy texture, and bright citrus hints. Its lively acidity and subtle mineral notes linger on the palate, reflecting both the region’s clay-limestone soils and the winemaker’s gentle touch. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, Els Bassots offers a distinctive Spanish take on a traditionally French grape, showing that Chenin Blanc can flourish beautifully under the Catalan sun.

Caviste
Mátyás Sandwich Pinot Gris is a distinctive orange wine crafted in Slovakia's Strekov region by the Mátyás Family Winery. Using organic and certified natural winemaking techniques, the grapes are grown in unpruned vineyards, helping manage ripeness and acidity despite climate changes. The wine undergoes a unique 30-day fermentation using the innovative 'sandwich method,' layering whole grape bunches between crushed grapes, allowing for carbonic maceration that enhances fruitiness and adds balanced tannins from stems. Expect expressive aromas of yellow pear, apple, herbs, dried fruit, and a hint of tea, complemented by a subtle yeastiness reminiscent of lambic beers. It's dry, juicy, and easy-going, ideal for pairing with rich fish dishes like mackerel or salmon, fried fish, and classic Italian pasta with tomato sauce and basil. Unfined, unfiltered, and with minimal sulphites, this wine is vegan and vegetarian-friendly, reflecting an authentic, low-intervention approach to winemaking.
