100% Pinot Noir, six months in Ukrainian rock-oak (skelyastyi dub) barrel, no additives or colourants, only a small antioxidant SO2 dose. Hand-numbered as bottle 0134 of 1,945; bottled 7 October 2025; 13%.
Vinoman is the northernmost licensed winery in Ukraine - Borys Slaboshevskyi's project in Zhavynka village on the Desna River, Chernihiv Oblast (about 1 ha owned plus around 3 ha leased on sandy soils, cool northern climate atypical for Ukrainian viticulture). The estate page for the 2024 release states that this Pinot Noir was assembled from two southern Bessarabian parcels in Odesa Oblast - i.e. Black Sea steppe fruit, finished and bottled at the Chernihiv urban winery. The producer also bottles a separate Pinot Noir Chernihiv terroir from estate fruit; this isn't that one.
