Fermentation ran on an estate-selected yeast strain before the wine was racked into a 7,500-litre stainless steel tank, where it aged for 14 months. Bottled in November 2025 with light plate filtration and added sulphur to 64mg\/l total SO2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSauvignon Blanc in the lead means aromatic lift and a certain crispness; Pinot Gris rounds it off and adds body.

Too little attention in the cellar and it's forgettable; too much and you've crushed the very lightness that made it worth drinking in the first place. Marek Uhnák at Pivnica Čajkov has been walking this line for a while, and Princess is where he does it most deliberately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe grape is Pesecká Leánka — Fetească regală in Romanian — a variety that feels tailor-made for this part of Slovakia's Sitno volcanic country. It's expressive without being demanding, fruity without being obvious. For this wine, the fruit comes from the southern section of the Stará Hora plot, where a thicker layer of fertile topsoil over red rhyolite and tuff bedrock at 200 metres pushes it toward something lighter and more delicate. 2025 was a cooler vintage than the scorching 2024, with gradual ripening that required three separate passes through the vineyard between late August and early September to pick everything at the right moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGently destemmed and crushed, with the free-run and light-press juices going straight into stainless steel to ferment on fine lees — no racking, no batonnage, no manipulation of any kind, preserving the natural CO2 that gives Princess its characteristic lift. Bottled in February 2026. Unfined, unfiltered, 15 ppm sulphur at bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWhite peach, pear, and quince on the nose and palate, with juicy acidity, a mineral finish, and that gentle prickle of natural fizz running underneath everything.
