Pesecka Leánka is an old Carpathian variety perfectly acclimated to the blazing summers and ice winters of the Tekovský region. Despite the hardiness of the vine the fruit of Leanka, AKA the “royal maiden”, is delicate with a nuanced and sophisticated perfume. It is a variety Martin and Vlado adore and dote on. Theirs, like most of their wines, is quite serious. Not without the fluttery whimsy of Pesecka but also contemplative, structured and flinty. It is a wine we find ourselves opening when we need something with gastronomic flair but suited for the day time. Light rustic cheeses, chlorophyll rich greens, and fowl from chickens to geese.
