Czech Republic makes wine, and this is what it grows.
Growers build the wines around Sauvignon Blanc, filling out the blend with Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Riesling.
Vines root into clay, loam and sand.
The climate is continental.
The vineyards themselves read as hills, riverside and valley floor.
White wine, red wine and rosé wine, plus two more is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows aromatic and often well-structured, showcasing regional terroir and sunshine, lighter and less successful and includes late-harvest and ice wines, plus one more.
Quality is codified by the Kabinet, the Pozdní sber and the Výber z hroznù, plus four more, which is worth reading off the label.
The named areas within are Moravia and Bohemia.
Producers worth knowing include Bohemia Sekt, Milan Nestarec and Vinařství Špalek.
Pour them alongside lightly spiced dishes, seafood, grilled chicken and sudden fruit desserts.
Serve at 8 to 12°C and decant before pouring.
Keeps for 3 to 5 years.
