Extracta

A rare bird that honours us with its presence only every now and then, when the stars align. A stream of lava capturing the very soul of its soil, the spirit of its grape, the ephemerality of nature’s gifts.

Extracta returns after four years of hiatus, as this wine requires a specific set of autumn weather conditions. 2020 was one such year when the cold humid nights bringing fog and botrytis to the vineyards were alternated by sunny days that allowed the grapes to dry out and balance the noble rot by good phenolic ripeness.

This wine is a winemaker's dream come true – it combines many contradictory features yet makes them work out in the end. Light and Dark collide and the result is not gray but incredibly intriguing, like a masterly-written novel that you feel compelled to read again, because you know that there are nuances and understories deserving a closer look, while enjoying its seductive style and ideas, even on a second read. One barrel / 300 bottles only
