Winemaker(s): Aleksander and Patrik Zaveč — the new generation running their family’s sustainably farmed vineyards, making low-intervention, terroir-driven wines.

Name Meaning: Celebrates Blaufränkisch — also known as Frankovka, Modra Frankinja and Kékfrankos — a historic Central European grape expressed here as a lively pét-nat.
Interesting Fact: The single vineyard sits at 450m on marl and sandstone — ancient seabed soils that force deep roots and give the wine its minerality and subtle salinity.
Serve With: Aperitif, salads, light meats, Asian or Middle Eastern dishes.
When to drink at Christmas: With Boxing Day leftovers.
