The idea of making an extravagant sparkling wine came to the St. Donat folks last year. They started to experiment and now, like the fruit of experimental jazz, we can introduce you to one of their most exciting wines.

The base wine is Furmint and Olaszrizling, but the style is totally different. The bottle is “demie”, that’s exactly half of the standard size, closed with a crown cap. It’s just a wonderfully refreshing, celebratory pop in the park for two – you don’t even have to worry about bubbles. The second fermentation took place in the bottle, but was kept on lees for about 2 months instead of years, and was not disgorged.

It’s like an impatient champagne with 5 bar pressure in the bottle, the same as swimming 50 meters deep in the sea.

Delicious, yeasty notes and citrus, tight acids and a rich sip. It’s a great pleasure to drink and it’s worth hurrying because only a few hundred bottles are made.
