Nach 2021 is a love letter to Moravian wine-making traditions with a modern twist. Milan Nestarec cooked up this gorgeous red as a cheeky rebellion against the over-complicated winemaking trends that swept through the Czech Republic after 1989. Blending Blaufrankisch, Blauer Portugieser, and Pinot Noir, Nach tells the story of a seriously wild vintage. Early on, the grapes weren’t looking promising, with super high acidity and zero sugar. But then? Boom! Mid-September brought a magical transformation where sunshine saved the entire harvest. The result is a wine that's bursting with juicy blackberry and cassis flavours, with a gorgeous herbal undertone that'll make wine nerds and casual drinkers alike do a happy dance. Bonus points for the nostalgic one-litre bottle that looks like something you'd find in your grandpa's vintage beer collection. It's not just a wine; it's a time machine to Moravian wine country, served up with a wink and a whole lot of character.
