Farming: Farming is organic, not certified
Vinification: Made from grapes that are left after they have reached their peak ripeness and coming from the prime south-facing vineyard position gaining maximum sun exposure, with very low yields (0.5-0.7kg/vine or 1-2 bunches per vine). Harvested by hand in the early morning hours in order to start vinification as coldly as possible. Pressing occurs quickly in stainless steel and spends 24 hours on lees under low temperatures until the must has naturally precipitated and fermentation is started exclusively with native yeasts. The wine is aged for 3 months in stainless steel tanks and then bottled.
Tasting Notes: Unikat is a young, but more creamy and rich and deeper type of Škrlet wine. Packed with flowery aromas, herbal notes, and wildly fruity, it is a refreshing white wine great for warm weather but also tremendously food friendly, pairing with a wide variety of foods including raw bar (sushi, crudo, etc) with bolder flavors, and Asian dishes with spice and bold flavors, such as curries and szichuan noodle dishes.
An expression of Škrlet that maintains high acidity and low alcohol, but with a playful, creamy, soft, and easy to drink body. It is rich with flowery aromas, herbal notes and delivers a palate of ripe pineapple, yellow peaches and golden apples. This wine is a bundle of a tropical harvest, exploding with versatile flavors and aromas — Škrlet is packed with sunshine and intensely delicious flavors.
