Thaya Moravian Muscat Late Harvest Natural Wine Organic
From the Thaya estate winery in the Czech Republic, this semi-aromatic, white wine is made from moravian muscat, and a cross between muscat ottonel and a rare Czech grape, prachtraube. Its lively acidity matches so well with 5 grams/liter of residual sugar, that it practically hides the extra natural fruit sugars, making it a white wine that both dry and sweet wine drinkers would enjoy as it is well balanced between the sweetness and acidity. It has intriguing aromas of lavander, honeysuckle and chamomile and a citrus/grapefruit taste reminiscent of a Sauvignon Blanc. If you like moscato and sauvignon blanc, try this!

Thaya is built on the passion of South Moraviana native, owner Josef Trávníček and on the craftsmanship of winemaker Jakub Smrčka who make organic wines, most with native yeast fermentation, in South Moravia, along the Austrian border. They focus on many German and Austrian varietals, but also have some native to the Czech Republic, like Moravian Muscat. Generally soil is granite and loess with some calcareous clay.
