Fetească Regală is the mother grape to Pesecká Leánka. She gives a softer, spicier wine with depth where Pesecká shows levity. These are from an old vineyard that has looked after itself for much of its life. The vines are individual in their personalities and conditions and this is part of the character of the wine. The yellowest of tree fruits, pear blossom, ginger it is a wine of loveliness. Creamy and comforting with not so much as an edge. It is the Queen of any cellar.
