"The original idea for this wine was inspired by mead (honey+water), but using Muscat juice instead of water. Medový = honeyed in Czech; the amount of honey is tiny and its sugars go through fermentation with the grapes, so the wine remains dry and refreshing, just with an extra flavor dimension.

Grapes: all sorts of Muscat and Muscat-based hybrids such as Moravian Muscat, Muscat Ottonel, Muscat yellow, Muscaris, Muscana, Mery, Bluttenmuskateller

Vineyard: Veselý, Novosády. 0.3 ha in total sandy, clay with south-east, south exposure.
Young vines, farmed by Richard himself, certified organic.

Making of: Grapes are hand-harvested and whole bunches are fermented in open-topped wood tanks for about 7 days with only indigenous yeast and a little bit of local honey. The grapes are then foot-stomped, and the wine then spends 10 months in old 100-, 200- and 600-liter barrels, with regular batonnage. Zero sulfur added, unfiltered and unfined.

Personality: aromatic, floral, juicy, a touch wild and very very fun. Chill well and enjoy on its own or explore the pairing possibilities."
