WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 'Frankie' 2022 is produced using a blend of Blauer Portugieser, Blaufränkisch, and Merlot. The winemaking process emphasizes minimal intervention. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in open vats. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in old oak barrels. Strekov 1075 adheres to certified organic and biodynamic farming practices, with a philosophy of allowing the terroir to express itself authentically in the final wine. The winery avoids fining and filtration.
