Quite good example of the variety from Moravia, hence no adjective and classification is stated on the label as the variety is not officially permitted in the Czech Republic. It has good acidity typical for 2010 cold vintage with very nice herby and grassy aroma. I tasted this variety for the first time in blended wine in February 2010 and as a single variety in September 2012.
