Milan Nestarec - Dopamin NV - Solera 2022-2024 - batch 7 - 13,5% - regio Moravia

DOPAMIN  NV 

Don’t kill the messenger 

Non-vintage blend of the 2022—2024 vintages. 

Dopamine, the “feel-good” hormonal messenger key to many processes in our body, was definitely released when we were making this wine. It’s an ode to my signature spontaneity and curiosity (some might say lack of plan, haha), solera that was originally born in one of our very first Stockinger barrels. At first, we started blending various white wines from our Slovenské plot that didn’t fit into their respective barrels, and then it became this game of “Stockinger Surprise”, wine living its own life without any projections about how it should taste.
