Petr Korab Solar Red

Vintage: 2022

Origin: Moravia, Czech Republic

Grapes: Pinot Noir, Karmazin (Blaufrankisch), Zweigelt

Alcohol: 11%

A new release from Petr, and as anyone who knows Petr well now, would know that almost every vintage he has a surprise release(s). Petr was an ex chef, and we love how he approaches his vineyards as a chef does the market. He sees what the best produce is (specifically grapes) and works seasonally with what is best. Petr judges the fruit on the weather conditions of that vintage and depending on the acidity, fruit, ripeness level he blends different parcels or makes wines from single varietals that would best reflect that particular year. 

The Solar Red is a new summer-y red blend of Pinot Noir, Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch. Chill it down for max effect, full of summer berries, bright, white and red strawberries and a very mineral presence on the palate, all at just 11% ABV!
