Moravíno Valtice Rulandské šedé 2013 pozdní sběr

Variety: Pinot Gris

Country of origin: Czech Republic
Wine appellation: Moravia, Mikulov sub-appellation, Mikulov village, Pod valtickou vineyard
Vintage: 2013
Alcohol content: 13.5%
Color: light yellow
Bouquet: expressive, minerality, citrusy, lime, orange tree blossom, almost like a citrus and orange based perfum, but in a nice sense
Taste: medium body, precise, sharp, mineral, crunchy lime acidity nicely accompanying major taste profile of dry orange crust and dry fruits, quite extractive, medium to longer finish
Recommended food pairing: pumpkin risotto
Overall score: 4+8+12+7+7+50=88
Price: CZK 200
Stopper: single piece cork
One of the best wine tasted from 2013 vintage and for sure the best from Moravino of that year. Superb crispy acidity is nicely accompanying high extract and mineral character of the wine. Recently I tasted from the same vineyard 2006 vintage with 90 points. This sure is the best candidate for cellaring.
