FROM MAREK UHNÁK…
Skin-contact white Like a magic botanical garden with something to marvel at at each turn, from the fresh scent of bergamots to a quince tree orchard, surrounded by generous honey bees who can‘t seem to decide between a freaky tiger orchid and rosemary shrub full of wise, opium smoking lizards. Table herbs, yellow fruit and smoke. Enticingly aromatic skin-contact white with lovely acidity and salty finish. Almost too easy to drink. Herb-crusted chicken. White fish with beurre blanc. Ceviche. Asian cuisine with mild to moderately spicy profile. Lightly smoked cheese. Hell, this wine works with everything! Label art: Klára Zápotocká, Deset Deka Design, Prague
