Umami (ONE PER ORDER)

Umami is a natural wine crafted by Milan Nestarec, in the Moravia region in Czech Republic. This white wine is made with Gewürztraminer and Roter Traminer grapes. ONE PER ORDER

Milan Nestarec states that "This Umami wine was born in 2017 to be paired with Asian cuisine that both I and my wife love so much – cherchez la faim! Originally a blend, now pure Traminer. This variety is one of the oldest ever, the ancestor of many other ones, so I always see the barrel as the "queen bee" of my cellar. The Achtele vineyard is a historic site that can give a truly balanced Traminer – it forms an amphitheatre which naturally leads to less airflow and a tendency to botrytis in the lower part of the vineyard, while the upper part ripens more slowly. We try to preserve this contrast in the wine itself – the result is an unexpected harmony of opulence and laser-sharp acidity that calls for yet another explorative sip."
