A cuvée of traditional Moravian blue grape varieties made mainly from grapes from a 60-year-old family vineyard located on the site of a medieval guard castle. The wine was aged in oak barrels and was not filtered or clarified to preserve its naturalness.
The red cuvée shines with a velvety ruby color. Its full and distinctly fruity aroma is seduced by sweet sour cherries in the finish, which blend into a balanced taste of overripe black fruit in the foreground with plum and a finely integrated woody dimension and silky tannins.
Keep refrigerated!
How to store wine properly
To preserve its flavor, aroma, and character, wine deserves a little care. The right conditions can extend its life and bring out the best in it.
Temperature
Wine likes stability. The ideal storage temperature is 10–14 °C – without fluctuations and away from heating or direct sunlight.
Darkness and silence
Light is not good for wine. Store bottles in a dark, cool place , preferably in a cellar or wine cellar. And most importantly – leave them alone, wine does not like frequent shaking.
Lying down or standing up?
Bottles with corks should be stored lying down to prevent the cork from drying out. For wines with screw caps, the position does not matter.
Humidity
The ideal humidity level is 60-75% . Air that is too dry can spoil the wine – the cork could dry out and air could get into the bottle.
When to open wine
Most white wines are best drunk within 2-3 years , reds can age a little longer. If you have an archive wine, give it time - it will reward you with a beautifully rounded flavor.
Serving
Every wine tastes best at the right temperature:
- White : 8–12 °C
- Pink : 10–13 °C
- Red : 14–18°C
Let the wine breathe for a while – especially the fuller ones will thank you for it with their aroma and taste.
