Krasna Hora La Blanca 2022

Krasna Hora La Blanca is an expressive, fruity, and aromatic dry white wine from Moravia in the Czech Republic. On the nose, notes of pear, peach, orange peel, apricot, dry straw, elder flower, honey, and wild herbs all converge. On the palate, a dry and vibrant mouthfeel provide the backbone for notes of juicy citrus, soft tannins, lively acidity, and a long, mineral finish. Forty percent of the grapes fermented on their skins for 10-25 days, yielding a pale golden-orange color. The remaining grapes underwent a traditional fermentation, following a direct press off their skins, that occurred with 50% of the grapes in tank and 10% in used 500-liter barrels. The wine aged on its lees for 3 months.
