Milan Nestarec
Fork & Knives Rosé 2019
The rosé from the ‘Forks and Knives’ line remains as easy as the white and red. Equally at place in a fancy restaurant and your lola’s poolside, this is an energetic bottle filled with good vibes. A beautiful aroma with plump berries and bitter citrus adorns a slightly darker-than-usual rosé. Light, delicate, approachable, and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Behind the Bottle
Somewhat of a prodigy, Milan Nestarec has been entrusted with all the winemaking of his family’s estate in Moravia, Czech Republic since he was 16 years old. Nestarec converted the estate to organic philosophies in 2008, which now produces a prolific number of bottles a year on its 24 hectares.
A vocal advocate of field blends, his white or orange wines almost always see a short amount of skin contact. Nestarec has become an icon of the scene with nothing more than skill, spontaneous fermentation, a bunch of tanks and old barrels, grape juice, and time.
