Milan Nestarec 'Umami' 2021 Moravia, Czech Republic

Moravia, Czech Republic

2021 is a field blend of Traminer (Red and Gewurz) 

Personality: wonderfully complementing all Asian dishes, exactly as planned. As Milan says, “UMAMI loosely translates from Japanese as tasty, delicate. I can’t utter a word of that language, but after tasting this wine I feel like I’ve translated it pretty well.”

Making of: The grapes are hand-harvested together and left to macerate on skins for 4 days. They see 10 hours of pneumatic press in the first half of fermentation; then undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast in old 3000-litre Stockinger oak barrels. Lays undisturbed for ~2 years on its fine lees. No fining, filtration, or added sulfur.
