Winemaker’s note: “Dopamine, the ‘feel-good’ hormonal messenger that is key to many processes in our body, was definitely released when we were making this wine. It’s an ode to my signature spontaneity and curiosity (some might say lack of plan, haha), solera born in one of our very first Stockinger barrels. At first, we started blending various white wines from our Slovenské plot that didn’t fit into their respective barrels, and then it became this game of ‘Stockinger Surprise,’ wine that we let live its own life without any projections about how it should taste. After 4 years of true no intervention, it’s at a wonderful stage and ready to go on your tables and comptoirs! Great value and perfect BTG material. Label spray-painted by yours truly.”
