Naboso Doma 2020

Doma means home. This is a wine made with their home grown white varities including Welschriesling, Gruner Veltliner, Red Sylvaner and Red Traminer. 14 days skin contact and 1 year in oak and acacia barrels and 2 more years rested in bottle before release.

Alive and harmonious. Time to breath. Time to find peace and energy.

Clear bright orange with amber tinge. Jasmine tea, sea salt and lemon/lime nose. Barbequed pinapple, thyme, white pepper and honey. Medium bodied with bright fresh acidity and tannin. Beautifully balanced skin-contact white made with class.

Naboso is a wine project by our friends Nadja and Andrej from the cute little village of Svaty Jur, just outside Bratislava in the Lower Carpathian mountain range. I think they are the kind of the people that just about everyone who meets them quickly considers them friends. Warm, unpretentious and welcoming into their charming home/winery/pottery workshop. Naboso is just the beginning and end of their day. They both work for other wineries across the border in Austria as "day jobs" as well as run a pottery business and a bunch of other projects. Busy is an understatement. And if these wines are just the beginning.... sheeeesh, what lies ahead is just scary... in the best way.

A feature of all of their wines (and possibly some order to their busy lives) is that all of their wines are given at least a year in barrel and 2 in bottle before release. It show's through in the absolutely alluring drinkability of all their wines.
