Krasna Hora Ruby 2021

Krasna Hora Ruby 2021 is a brightly acidic, softly tannic dry red wine from the Czech Repulic. It expresses plentiful red fruit, a whisper of licorice, and dark forest fruit.

The farming method is organic and biodynamic for all of the winery's vineyards. The grapes were hand-harvested and then spent 3 weeks on skins during fermentation in big open plastic casks. The aging was in 50% neutral oak barrels.

"The Krásná Horá (‘Beautiful Mountain’) vineyards are located in the historic wine village of Starý Poddvorov near the Austrian and Slovakian borders. Cistercian monks first planted this region in the 13th century, and the roots of this small family winery go back to the early 1960s, when the first vineyards were planted by winemaker Ondrej Dubas's grandfather under the communist system. The family now focuses on releasing high quality, biodynamic wines from small parcels of Central and Western European varieties after long and careful ageing in its cellar." -Nomadic Distribution
