Richard Stavek - Odmery - 2019

Odměry is a distinctive white wine made from a blend of Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay. Crafted by Richard Stávek, a pioneering figure in natural viticulture in the Czech Republic, this wine originates from about 5 hectares of meticulously tended vineyards in Moravia. The production process includes a 20-day carbonic maceration, followed by gentle foot pressing and a light maceration. The wine is then aged for 10 months in 600-liter acacia wood barrels, with batonnage performed 1-2 times a month. No sulphites are added during the winemaking process.
