SEDIMENTAL is perhaps the greatest seafood wine ever made in a landlocked country. It is an inventive multi vintage cuvee made up of approximately 50/50 2020/2021 Rizling Vlašský (Welchrieling). The 20’ was fermented dry in large used oak barrels. After harvesting the fruit from 2021, the two vintages were combined in stainless steel and allowed to ferment almost to dryness. The wine was then bottled unfiltered with the fine lees to finish fermentation under pressure. The combination of volcanic soil, the neutrality of the grape variety and the unconventional vinification result in an original wine that exemplifies the subtlety of the grape.While it is possible to separate the wine from the sediment either by decanting or manually disgorging it, we recommend shaking the bottle before chilling it well so the yeast is incorporated. The finely integrated bubbles move slowly up the glass. The wine has an oiliness, but drinks quite light. The aromas are beguiling and ever changing. Ranging from pear, to hay to anise or tarragon. A sophisticated aperitif to serve alongside chilled shellfish.
