Dry white wine · Riesling · 75 cl
Papillon Riesling Barrique is a dry Slovak Riesling that spent three years resting in used oak barrels in a tuff cellar, followed by two years in bottle, so it is released at its best. The grapes come from the first certified organic vineyard in Slovakia, planted in 1998. Selected for Central Wines by Master Sommelier Adam Michocki.

About Papillon
Papillon – Víno od Francúza (“wine from the Frenchman”) was founded in 2018 by David and Darina Papillon in the village of Devičie, Central Slovakia, among a hundred cellars carved into volcanic tuff. David, a French former sommelier in Michelin-starred restaurants, learned natural winemaking in the Loire and Roussillon. The certified organic winery works by gravity, with wild yeasts and no additives.
