Punkista

Robert Osička is a lover of Sex Pistols (& plenty of other punk bands) but his wines are anything but punky or wild in the streets. Quite the opposite. The eldest son of Jaroslav Osička, a pioneer of Moravia natural wine movements

Grape Varietals & Region: 50% Gruner Veltliner, 50% Sauvignon Blanc from 35 year old vines grown on loess soils. Their vineyard is in Velké Bílovice, the largest wine village in Czech Republic

Taste Profile: Fresh nose of green apples and notes of freshly mowed grass. Refreshing taste with mineral complexity and great supporting acidity.

Complex & Classic Sparklings

From buttery brioche to baked apple and toast, this style encapsulates vintage Champagnes and other aged sparkling wines from around the world

Methode Champenoise

The key element of the traditional method is secondary fermentation in the bottle, often achieved by adding a liqueur de tirage to the base wine. The end result is a soft, fine bubly mouthfeel
