Grüner Veltliner (dominant), Welschriesling & Neuburger. Non-vintage Solera blend of the 2021, 2022 and 2023 vintages. 3 days of skin contact.
Soft soft maceration, actually more of a whole bunch fermentation, of three recent vintages, aged together as solera in a 3000 L Gamba barrel.
A delicious and complex wine with notes of honey, apricot and plenty of flowers.
Why "Hedonista"? Milan's Prague distributor loved his skin-contact Dopamin & Postmoderna so much that he asked for a sibling. This is it, built on Veltliner, Milan's favourite white grape. An ode to finding joy in small everyday things. (And bottles.) Wine is supposed to make us feel good, right?
