Unfined, unfiltered, unsulphured, undisgorged. 12,5% ABV
Aromas, Flavours & Indulgent Pairings
Volcanic tang, crushed rock, yeasty notes mingled with forest strawberries, apricots and flowers. Quite creamy in the mouth, thanks to the fine bubbles and silky maceration notes; ending on a salty acid kick with orange / pomelo rind flavours. I recommend pairing Vulcanica with another glass of Vulcanica. (Ok, a nice white fish - like a sturgeon typical for our lake district - roasted with wine, butter and herbs works marvellously too.)
Our notes about the maker:
Meet Pivnica Čajkov. A small craft winery located at the foot of the Štiavnica Mountains and the remains of the Sitno volcano in the village of Čajkov, within the Nitra wine region.
Marek now leads the Uhnák family winery after generations of toil and is harnessing local varieties such as Pesecká Leánka and Feteasca Alba - varieties that are increasingly disappearing in favour of more convenient and popular international varieties. Despite the challenges Marek believes that his local gems are particularly suitable for the local climate/conditions and is passionate about sharing them the world.
