{"title":"Strekov 1075","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the village of Strekov, in southern Slovakia where the flatlands give way to the sweeping Pannonian Plain, a former pumpkin-seed farmer named Zsolt Sütő has become one of the most important figures in Central European natural wine. His estate, named for the year 1075 AD when the village's existence was first committed to writing, is now a benchmark for uncompromising, zero-sulfur winemaking east of Vienna.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZsolt Sütő grew up in a region where ninety percent of the population is of Hungarian descent, including himself. Before wine, he cultivated pumpkin seeds, a traditional crop of the Carpathian basin. He began acquiring vineyard land in 2002, converted to organic farming in 2009, switched to fully spontaneous fermentation in 2012, and by 2017 had committed to adding zero sulfur at any stage of production. That gradual, deliberate evolution reflects a thinker who moves at the pace of the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/strekov-1075\"\u003eStrekov 1075 producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fred-strekov-alibernet-dunaj-slovakia-natural-wine","title":"Strekov 1075 Fred X NV","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta content=\"uuidlbUiptsCcl5S\" name=\"uuid\"\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eStrekov 1075's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFred X\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e NV is a natural red wine from the Južnoslovenská region of Slovakia, crafted by winemaker Zsolt Sütő. This non-vintage blend features indigenous grape varieties: Alibernet, Dunaj, and Blauer Portugieser. The grapes are cultivated using organic and biodynamic practices, emphasizing minimal intervention. Spontaneous fermentation occurs in open wooden vats over two weeks in the cellar, followed by aging in Zemplén oak barrels for six months. The wine is bottled without fining, filtration, or added sulfur, preserving its natural character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strekov 1075","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13246124982327,"sku":"strekov-fredx","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/strekov-fredx-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780287525"},{"product_id":"strekov-1075-pinot-noir-natural-wine","title":"Strekov 1075 Pinot Noir 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta content=\"uuidlbUiptsCcl5S\" name=\"uuid\"\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eStrekov 1075's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e hails from the Južnoslovenská wine region in Slovakia, where clay-loam soils atop marine sediments, sandstone, and limestone veins characterize the terroir. The 2021 vintage experienced a dry and hot growing season with cool nights, leading to well-ripened grapes with high acidity and low pH. The hand-harvested grapes underwent destemming without crushing and fermented spontaneously in open casks for 14 days, with gentle punch-downs. The wine was then aged in old oak barrels, allowing for a natural expression of the varietal and terroir. No fining, filtration, or sulfur additions were employed, adhering to the winery's minimal intervention philosophy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strekov 1075","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49539964436696,"sku":"STREKOV-PINOTNOIR","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/strekov-pinot-noir-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780290211"}],"url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/collections\/strekov-1075.oembed","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
