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

Description

Punkista Pinot Chardonnay Extra Brut NV

Grape Varietals & Region: 60% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir from 18 to 30 year old vines grown on loess & clay soils. Their vineyard is in Velké Bílovice, the largest wine village in Czech Republic

Taste Profile: Expect an elegant yet complex wine, with a fantastic perlage. Apple, kiwi, pear, honey, citrus fruit, brioche. There’s a lot going on in this wine and it’s beautiful to see how it opens up with more air.

Winemaking Process: Harvest by hand, followed by pneumatic pressing of whole grapes. Spontaneous fermentation & ageing in stainless steel tanks, followed by method champenoise bottle ageing, and is matured on lees for 36 months

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
