The 2024 vintage was the moment of clarity — the point where the vineyard's character clicked into focus — and since then it's been a matter of refinement rather than reinvention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eKrefty's fertile loamy soils don't give much natural acidity, so this year the fruit was picked a few days earlier than usual to hold onto what was there. Pinot Gris spent 3–4 days on skins; Chardonnay just one. Both aged entirely on gross lees, split between oak barrels and stoneware vessels — a combination Ondřej has come to see as essential for balance at this site. At least half the fruit needs something other than barrel, or the wine closes in on itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNo botrytis. No new oak. Those are the rules now, learned over four vintages of paying attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe result is a white with quiet confidence: textured from the skin contact and lees aging, with the freshness that comes from harvesting at the right moment, and a kind of mineral stillness that feels very much like Krefty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrink it:\u003c\/strong\u003e with roast chicken, creamy pasta, grilled white fish, or a long lunch that doesn't need to be anywhere in a hurry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pandemonium Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56281392742779,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0101\/4769\/2591\/files\/KreftyB.jpg?v=1780590863","url":"https:\/\/pandemoniumwines.co.uk\/products\/monology-krefty-b-2025","provider":"Pandemonium Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
