Gurdau Winery

Gurdau Winery was established in 2012 in the South Moravian village of Kurdějov. A year later, 7 hectares of vineyards were planted here. With this step, we proudly revived the local winemaking tradition, which had been suspended for many decades

Description

Gurdau Stara Hora Riesling 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Riesling from Kurdějov in Moravia, Czech Republic

Taste Profile: Bewitching aromatic finesse with delicate threads of meadow flowers, red apple skin and ripe honeydew melon. In the mouth rich, full with layers of ripe apricot, clementines, forest honey and caramel, but kept in shape by the terrific freshness. Ridiculously complex palate, with long lasting spicy aftertaste with flavour of ginger, nutmeg and cardamom.

Winemaking Process: Hand-harvested, gentle processing, 9 months on fine lees, 100% on Slavonian oak.
