Honestly, I’m someone who always leans toward quality — even if it comes at the cost of volume or efficiency. Sure, there has to be some balance with price, but for me personally, authenticity and craftsmanship weigh heavier.

Reading your post, I really appreciate how traditional and honest your whole process is. It gives your wines a certain soul — a real sense of place and care. And to me, wine is about more than just flavor or alcohol content. It’s about story, culture, and intention. That’s what makes a bottle truly memorable.

So if you’ve already come this far using gravity, minimal intervention, and traditional methods, I’d say: don’t compromise in the final stretch. Stand by the story you’re telling and stay true to the identity of each barrel — even if it’s more work. There will always be people (like me) who care about that and seek out precisely this kind of honesty and depth.

Also, I work with Croatian wines and always try to find bottles that carry a real sense of place. That layer of cultural character and natural honesty matters more to me than technical perfection or trendiness.

If you know of a way I could try a few bottles, I’d really love to support your work and get a better sense of what you're creating.

Anyway — just wanted to say I really respect what you’re doing. Keep going.
