NATURAL WINES BY BIDULE
Bidule is a Moravian project started in 2022 by three friends and led by natural winemaker Zdeněk Omasta. The name comes from the little plastic cup that collects the yeast in the neck of a sparkling wine bottle before disgorging, a good clue that bubbles are their main focus. They farm 7 hectares on loess soils around Velké Bílovice and Dolní Bojanovice in South Moravia, picked by hand and never irrigated.
Production is around 30,000 bottles a year, and they see the cellar more as a place to store wine than to shape it. They follow the Autentiste charter for Czech natural wine. On the sparkling side there are pét-nats, including the Bidule Pet Nat and the Pet Nat Welsch, and Tradition, a zero-dosage traditional method sparkling from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The still wines include Frankovka and a Sylvaner made in a deliberately oxidative style.
