Strekov Bob Red 2022 750ml

100% Blauer Portugieser made in a fresh style, using native yeast fermentation and super short aging in stainless steel tanks. A lively fruit-forward, Syrah like red which is ideally enjoyed chilled.

Zsolti’s primeur-style wine – it was named after his donkey and is just as full of life and joy!

Grapes: Modrý Portugal (Blauer Portugieser / Kékoportó)

Vineyard: Vád, certified organic and farmed by Zsolti himself. Head-trained, planted in 2012. Clay-loam topsoil with a high level of calcium on marine sediments. 

Making of: the grapes were handpicked, destemmed but not crushed. Fermented for about 2 weeks in open-top vats with gentle stirring by hand, no added selected yeasts or other additives, no temperature control. The free-run juice then spent ~1 month in a stainless steel tank, without any mechanical interventions. Bottled by gravity at the end of October, under crown caps to enjoy the fruitiness. No fining, filtration or SO2 added.

Personality: juicy, smooth, lightly fizzy – very youthful, easy-drinking material that’s best chilled and shared with friends.
