Matyas Somlyo (Pinot Blanc)
Matyas Somlyo (Pinot Blanc)
Mátyás Somlyó is a blend of barrel-fermented, orange and other long skin-contact pinot blanc from Slovakia. On the nose, it is dominated by ripe or overripe scents of peach and pear. This character is a result of the oxidative winemaking method. By pouring to glass and getting in touch with air, the fruity character strengthens, then, after a while, the oxidative style is getting dominant, showing typical tones of green walnut.
In the mouth, the mineral saltiness and sourness, coming from the soil, is in perfect harmony with the ripe fruit tones, completed by the light tannins, which makes the overall feel of acidity just about perfect.
Wild yeast fermented. Unfined. Unfiltered.
Pairs well with white meat and pork made with cream or sour cream, also with meals with green herbs, such as thyme, sage or rosemary. Mátyás Somlyó is a great company for aged or smoked cheeses, or aged dried ham.

Doremi Mtsvane Kvevri
Doremi Mtsvane KvevriDo Re Mi wines are all made in Qvevri which are handmade, large buried clay vessels used to ferment and age the wine. Qvevri range in size from 250 liters to 2500 liters. The lightly pressed juice is fermented with the skins, with wild yeast and free from any additives. After fermentation is finished, the Qvevri are sealed and covered with soil until Spring time. During the process, the solids in the wine slowly drop to the bottom of the qvevri and the clear wine rises to the top. When temperatures drop in December and January, the live yeast dies, the wine is transferred to new qvevri and left to age for more months. In the spring time the wine is drunk during big celebrations called Supras and leftover is bottled.
Do Re Mi is very proud to continue the long tradition of Georgian wine making and they’re pleased to offer you pure and authentic natural wines.
