"The Osička production is mostly made from locally common grape varieties but it is Chardonnay that they are perhaps most famous for. Through restitution in the 90's after the dissolution of the Czechoslovak socialist state the Osička family acquired a special plot of grape vines planted in the 80's. It was unique in having been planted to 7 different Moravian clones. Chardonnay has been in Moravia for more than 2 centuries. It seems these well adapted genetics are what the Chardonnay owes its quality and complexity to.”
