About: Sauvignon Blanc made using a lighter skin maceration technique. Super fresh, mineral and vibrant, full of underripe white stone fruit, herbs and bags of texture. Arguably the masters of European orange winemaking, this family in Slovakia has a mad history when it comes to their vineyards. Slobodne means 'freedom', reflecting the struggles endured when their land was lost once during occupation and then again taken away by a communist government, finally reclaimed through a deep investigation of ownership papers dating back decades.
