Grüner Veltliner (dominant), Chardonnay & Riesling. Non-vintage solera from the 2021-2023 vintages. Foot-stomped, overnight maceration, spontaneous fermentation. Aged in a 3000 L Stockinger oak barrel.
Elegant, easy, with exotic notes.
Very good value for money.
Why "Dopamin"? Dopamine, the feel-good messenger, was definitely released while this wine was being made. It started as a game of "Stockinger Surprise": white wines from the Slovenské plot that didn't fit into their own barrels got blended together, and the solera was born in one of Milan's very first Stockinger barrels. Wine living its own life, with no projections about how it should taste. Don't kill the messenger.
No fining, no filtration, no sulphur added. Pure juice.
Pairing: sushi, Thai green curry, grilled prawns, fresh goat cheese, spring rolls, or just a sunny afternoon.
