Pivnica Čajkov Princess 2023

The winemaker; Marek Uhnak, has such a great description for this wine that I feel required to include it here in its entirety: 

"Making wine like Princess to be truly good is no small feat: it's an everyday kind of wine that is easy to drink and enjoy, yet also gracious and full of personality and expressing the place where it comes from. This is a fine line to walk for a winemaker: if one doesn't give such wine the attention it deserves, the result is usually just drinking water whose avour disappears before you even swallow it; if you're too heavy-handed in the cellar, you get a monster – imagine me prancing around in my daughters’ princess dresses, lol.

Pesecká Leánka aka Fetească regală is a great partner for this style. It’s the true spirit animal (grape) of our region, a delicious yet reliable companion ready to make your day brighter. In this “morning version”, we use Leánka from our beloved Stará Hora plot, where the soil is perfect for a lighter wine. We treat its delicate grapes to gentle skin contact and short undisturbed rest on lees, resulting in an extra fresh white with a light bubbly lift. A graceful little rascal that can be all dainty while already secretly giggling about her next mischief. Take a sip and you're in on the joke with her, too…"
