{"product_id":"medovy-muskatek-2022","title":"Medovy Muskatek","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe original idea for this wine was inspired by mead (honey+water), but using Muscat juice instead of water. Medový = honeyed in Czech; the amount of honey is tiny and its sugars go through fermentation with the grapes, so the wine comes out dry and refreshing, just with an extra flavor dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes: all sorts of Muscat and Muscat-based hybrids such as Moravian Muscat, Muscat Ottonel, Muscat yellow, Muscaris, Muscana, Mery, Bluttenmuskateller\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVineyard: Veselý, Novosády. 0.3 ha in total sandy, clay with south-east, south exposure.\u003cbr\u003eYoung vines, farmed by Richard himself, certified organic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking of: Grapes are hand-harvested and whole bunches are fermented in open-topped wood tanks for about 7 days with only indigenous yeast and a little bit of local honey. The grapes are then foot-stomped, and the wine then spends 10 months in old 100-, 200- and 600-liter barrels, with regular batonnage. Zero sulfur added, unfiltered and unfined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePersonality: aromatic, floral, juicy, a touch wild and very very fun. Chill well and enjoy on its own or explore the pairing possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Stávek\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichard Stávek is one of the pioneers of natural wine in Moravia, starting to produce in the mid 1990’s. Richard is a constant tinkerer and farmer of all sorts. He has begun drying wood staves that were used to make barrels for the world-renowned Austrian barrel-maker, Stockinger. He also makes honey and goat cheese, and farms all sorts of crops, not just grapes. He farms 15-hectares of land, with 4.5-hectares of grape vines featuring some little known indigenous grape varieties, where most of his wines are field blended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard Stávek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54923623825699,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/4226\/8358\/files\/33CB308C-CA05-4250-B4A0-CB1011EAAC9F.jpg?v=1776115288","url":"https:\/\/terroirizer.wine\/products\/medovy-muskatek-2022","provider":"Terroirizer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
