Mike's Tip
A rounder, full bodied red from our country you would be pressed to find. Maybe a pity to drink now, as this one still has plenty of potential. Buy a case, but it away, come back in 6 years and you have a Czech treasure chest.

Mike's Tip
The color gives it away immediately. But before you taste it, close your eyes and take a deep smell. You will find a bowl of forest fruit right under your nose. This wine has many of the same characteristics of it's younger brother, but has a bit fuller taste and longer finish. Probable the better of the 2 reds to start with if you are not a Pinot fan (as this one is a little easier to understand).

Mike's Tip
Honestly, I think this is about as good a red as the Czech's can make, and I am not being demeaning. For this price - magic. The light rusty color and an extremely low sugar count brings out the fruit taste that are so often hidden. White meat with this one - and give it a chance. It may make you a Pinot "liker" instead of a hater.
Gruner Veltliner 2013 Flower Line

Wine description:
- Country: Czech Republic

- Alcohol: 12%
- Style: Medium-bodied dry white wine
- Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
- Supplier: Mikrosvín
- Box: IWCoK with the Winery of the Year
- Price: 239 Kč
Mike's Tip
Light straw color and fill of the "Green" grassy flavor you expect with this wine. Many call this "nettles" but it is actually grass and minerals giving it this peppery rustic flavor. No fence sitting with a Veltin - you are eihter in or out!
Chardonnay 2014 Flower Line

Wine description:
- Country: Czech Republic
- Grape: Chardonnay
- Alcohol: 12%
- Style: Medium-bodied dry white wine
- Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
- Supplier: Mikrosvín
- Box: IWCoK with the Winery of the Year
- Price: 239 Kč
Mike's Tip
Think Chablis, not California. If you like your Chardonnays a bit more tart with a short finish, but still all the banana tones you like (but didn't know they were there), this will do you just fine. Young, crisp and clean - every bit the quality of more expensive imports.
Welshriesling 2010 Traditional Line

Wine description:
- Country: Czech Republic
- Grape: Welschriesling
- Alcohol: 12,5%
- Style: Floral sweet semidry white wine
- Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
- Supplier: Mikrosvín
- Box: IWCoK with the Winery of the Year
- Price: 299 Kč
Mike's Tip
This one will fall into the semi sweet variety as you will immediately notice a higher sugar content with less pronounced acidity. This will make for a much longer finish and leaves a number of tastes on your tongue. Thing raisins and grapefruit. This will be a great wine with Asian food or anything else you make have in the fridge that is a bit spicy.
Welshriesling 2014 Standard Line

Wine description:
- Country: Czech Republic
- Grape: Welschriesling
- Alcohol: 11%
- Style: Light and refreshing dry white wine
- Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
- Supplier: Mikrosvín
- Box: IWCoK with the Winery of the Year
- Price: 144 Kč
Mike's Tip
Although a "Fresh, young thing", all the typical tones of the grape can be found here. Look for nuts and honey that were mixed over some rocks ;-) You will find a strong mineral element running through this one partly as the acidity comes out on top of the sugars. A great everyday drink at a great price and every bit the quality of competing imports.
