From Jan Zaborsky, the winemaker behind the Pivnica Brhlovce winery, comes this light and delicate frizzante style of sparkling wine. Technically it is a light red pet nat, but we'd say its more like a deep rose with some effervescence. Fresh, juicy, fruity and with just the right amount of acidity and body. They nailed it with this one!
 
Jan has labelled this a "Romantic Pet Nat" that pairs well with intimate dinners and some intellectual chat... Bla Bla Bla... but we're labeling it liquid red berry Solero!
 
Set in village of Brhlovce – which itself is a UNESCO heritage site, Jan's vineyards sit on rolling hills with shallow soils and bedrock of compressed volcanic ashes. He is also a farmer and keeps in touch with the vineyards, fields and animals throughout the whole year. His micro-production of 8,000 bottles makes his wines scarce.
 
The colour alone has us hooked - it's an amazing, thick and cloudy shade of pink that looks like our fave berry-spiked gose beer!
 
Nothing added, with no fining or filtration. Contains only natural sulphur from the skins and yeasts from wild fermentation. 100% vegan and veggie-friendly.

Notes from winemaker:
"Grapes of Blaufränkisch grapes were hand-harvested in 50+ years old vineyard, and right away crushed and pressed. Juice then fermented in stainless steel tank at low temperature. At 16g/L of sugar fermenting juice was bottled, where the fermentation continued."
