Danger 380 Volts - 2022

€23,40

Dangerously drinkable. Approach at your own risk.

One of Nestarec's most beloved and instagrammed wines, a salty-citrus-exotic sparkler that captures the wonderful, unique energy of nascent wine.

Its origins were truly dangerous: the first time he tried to make sparkling wine in 2012, he bottled it with too much residual sugar and his warehouse became a military zone, with bottles randomly exploding here and there. 5000 of them. It took him a bit of time to digest the fact that all this wine and work had gone down the drain, but he eventually got over it and tried again. Fast forward to spring 2017: they were tasting their second iteration with his wife and it was... freaking awesome! So refreshing, so energetic. As they were drinking this electrifying wine, right next to them, stood an electric transformer adorned with that notorious “Danger 380V” sign. And bang! The name & label were born in a sec.

Always made from the same single vineyard, a sandy plot called Sahary, so it's a field blend of Neuburger (for personality), Muller (for drinkability), and Muscat (for some aromatic oomph).  It is fun yet elegant. What a pleasant surprise!
