Winery Horák (Czech Republic, Velkopavlovicka region)

• Grape varieties: Chardonnay & Riesling blend.

• Alcohol: ~13% ABV.

• Style: Sparkling wine, “Brut” — so relatively dry.

Tasting / Description

Here’s how it presents, based on tasting notes and product descriptions:

• Appearance: Pale straw or light greenish-yellow colour with fine, delicate bubbles.

• Aroma (Nose): Fresh citrus (lemon, possibly grapefruit), green apple, maybe some floral notes; typical crisp and clean profile

• Palate (Taste): Crisp and fresh with good acidity. Notes of citrus fruits (lemon, lime), apple, maybe a touch of stone fruit. Because of the Riesling component there may also be minerality or a slight racy (sharp) edge. The Chardonnay adds some roundness.

• Finish: Dry, clean, and relatively long; refreshing and with lingering citrus/fruit tones.

Overall Impression & Pairing Suggestions

This is a well-made Czech sparkling wine, good for those who like their fizz crisp rather than sweet. It should work well as an aperitif, with light seafood, shellfish, fresh salads, sushi, or lighter cheeses. Also great for celebrations or as a refreshing drink in warm weather.

Wine contains: suplhites.
