Fresh and elegant Pinot noir 2023- Surreal is about a magical moment, about a thin line between dream and reality. Pinot Noir from a small vineyard ( 1,0 ha. ) that grows on volcanic soil in Brhlovce.

Light ruby to brick color. The aroma is delicate, elegant and sophisticated. The primary aroma is dominated by small red fruits. The body is delicate, elegant, as per Pinot Noir. It has a firm and elegant structure thanks to fresh acids, which are harmoniously incorporated into the body. The aftertaste is long and distinctly fruity.

This 2023 vintage is especially racy and elegant, offering a classical image of balanced Pinot Noir from volcanic underlay.

Harvest
End-September. Harvested by hand into small crates (18-20 kg) in order to keep the grapes as intact as possible.

Winemaking
The grapes are gently destemmed, crushed and then macerated skins for 4 weeks in open top vats, with only the gentlest of punchdowns to avoid over-extraction.
The must is moved into barrels while still fermenting. Part of the wine matured 12 month in 300 l French oak barrels. Part 12 month in 220 l French oak barrels. The wine was not clarified. Noble sediment is a natural part of this wine.
