TRBLMK 2021 Nestarec

SKU: 734 EAN: 8594186262007

Deep amber colour in the glass with notes of mirabelle, pear, dried herbs that evolve towards complex flavours on the palate. A multi-dimensional, exceptional wine. A wine from the winemaker's favourite grape variety, but as the name on the label suggests it is 'troubled'. It can present problems (a sensitive variety to frost and disease). Typical Neuburg.

What does Milan Nestarec himself say about wine?

Always be yourself, unless you can be a troublemaker. Then always be a troublemaker.

My embodiment in a bottle. It's probably not love at first sight, but when you sit down, it's a friendship for life, so after a while he even stops being an introvert and talks himself out of it. This wine has always been based on Neuburg - an old variety that is now on the decline because of its low yields and compact bunch that makes it prone to rot. But I like it for many reasons - it's best suited to our soil and develops beautiful tertiary aromatics from its initially neutral youth for those who can wait. Its semi-massive flesh makes it one of the tastiest varieties to just eat, but it's also a terrible squeezer. Which made Neuburg a popular sophomore variety back in the commies (piquette for you millennials, lol) - because there was always plenty of material left over from the hand press for a second pressing.

In '17 we picked it up (twice) with a side row of Riesling, which held the acid beautifully. So actually a fieldblend from Slovakia. Mostly fermented on the skins, then a little over two years in neutral barrels because wine takes time. Between you and me, I'm blown away by how much I'm enjoying the result.
