Pivnica Cajkov Pinot Gris Volcanic
Pivnica Cajkov Pinot Gris VolcanicPinot Gris Volcanic is a Single Vineyard wine. All grapes are from a single vintage, yet two different fermentation styles are used. The majority of grapes (70%) were fermented on skins for 6 days, while the smaller part (30%) was fermented for one month.
Thereafter the wine was aged for one year in oak barrels, with a gentle access of oxygen, under a soft flor. As a result we have a massive, fabulously creamy Pinot Gris with a long aftertaste bursting with mineral and salty notes.
The organic farming in the vineyard, and total dedication and adherence to natural winemaking in the cellar, bring about unfiltered and completely natural wines.</p
