Strekov 1075
NV Strekov 1075 'Fred #12' 750mL
Fleshy and rustic, this juicy red drinks with a softly velvety feel and real presence. It hits the table with a pop of red cherry and raspberry, then settles into an earthy, fleshy groove. Medium to full in weight, it stays bright and mouthwatering rather than heavy.
Zsolt Suto blends Alibernet, Dunaj, and Portugieser from Strekov to capture fruit and grit from his organic vines. He bottles under a crown cap with no added sulfites so the juicy core stays vivid and the edges remain unpolished. The result is expressive without being sweet, textured without becoming thick, and distinctly Slovak in energy.

Strekov 1075
The estate focuses on local grapes like Modry Portugal, Frankovka, and Dunaj, alongside Alibernet. Multi‑vintage blending is part of the house style, with some wines aged under a protective veil of yeast, a traditional approach Zsolt revived to build stability and character without additives.
