"This wine perfectly reflects the character of its terroir. An intense dark color with bluish hues promises a deep sensory experience. The aroma intertwines notes of wild berries, blackcurrant, and coffee beans, harmoniously complemented by a hint of vanilla and chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied, elegant, and perfectly structured, with the potential for long aging. An ideal choice for lovers of sophisticated red wines."

Product detailed description
The grapes for this wine were grown in the Židlíky vineyard near Nechory. A gentle east-facing slope influences the ripening of the grapes, which takes slightly longer than in other sites. Thanks to this, the red wines from this vineyard have a very fruity and multi-layered aromatic profile. The combination of loess subsoil and heavier soils in the upper part of the site gives the wines richness and fullness.
Serving Recommendations
Serve at 15–16 °C in a large Bordeaux-style red wine glass (hand-blown Květná), which allows the full aromatic spectrum to develop. For an even better experience, we recommend decanting for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Food Pairing
This wine is ideal with red meats with richer and fattier sauces, lamb, game, and BBQ.
Cellaring
With proper storage, this wine is suitable for cellaring for 9–10 years.
