Milan Nestarec ‘Juicy Fruit’ Moravia, 2018
This wine is a field blend of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Grüner Veltliner, and Welschriesling, from Moravia, Czech Republic. We would pair it with beer battered fish tacos topped with a mango lime slaw. It is as if the fleeting juiciness of Juicy Fruit gum lasted forever, or at least until the bottle is empty. ‘Juicy Fruit’ also has a savory spicy undertone that makes for a wonderful sensory experience in each sip. The grapes are hand harvested and destemmed, with less than 10% seeing a couple days of skin contact. The juice is then aged on its lees, undisturbed for 2 years, developing a rich and slightly chewy texture. Juicy Fruit… forever.
