THE STORY

Zore means 'dawn' in Slovak. Blaufränkisch meets André (a local cross of Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent) and, for the first time, Alibernet — pushing the colour darker. The 2024 summer was extreme, driving alcohol to 14%, but carbonic maceration keeps everything impossibly fresh. Think Beaujolais energy, Carpathian soul. Serve chilled.

WINEMAKING DETAILS

Whole bunch fermentation, outdoor temperature, 8 days in 500–750L vats. Destemmed, pressed, fermented in 225L and 500L neutral oak. Aged on lees. Bottled May 2025. Carbonic maceration preserves freshness.

SERVING NOTE

Chill for 20 minutes before opening. Already cold? Take it out and wait 5 minutes — this red is best slightly cool, around 14–16°C.

No decanting needed, but give it 10 minutes in the glass. It opens up quickly and rewards a little patience.
