While bone dry the Osicka Pinot Gris is a broad textural wine akin to fine Alsatian Pinot Gris. Opulent, waxy and long. With flavors of freshly baked cookies, warm spices and hearth. But the wine is not without its edges, like many of the great white wines of Moravia there is a nervy spine to it. Richness and ripeness accompanied by an invigorating acidity that lifts and enlivens. A lovely accompaniment to earth dishes of mushroom and root vegetables, poultry and pungent cheeses.
