Reguliari kaina €16,00
Vieneto kaina už
A cuvee of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. Acacia on the nose (would you believe that!?) as well as bright tropical fruits. 10 months in acacia barrels has given the pallet a nice roundness to the stirring acidity. Fresh citrus and a bit of a minerally edge too.
Jaroslav Osička is one of the pioneers of natural wine-making in Czechia and actually taught/influenced the craft when he taught at the local wine college. He has been farming organically since the early 80's, quite early for any winery, anywhere. I love the sincerity of each of his wines. They carry a balance that is so tight, so delicately crafted. I actually planned to carry quite a few of his wines, but no surprise, they were sold out before I got the chance. We will definitely be getting more as soon as we can. Because they're just frickin amazing. These may not be "sexy" or "cool" wines, but they are fucking incredible wines.
