Milan Nestarec
Moje
One of our favorite wines is this bottle of bubbly from Milan Nestarec. A 100% Riesling with a touch of residual sugar, delicate fizz and mouthwatering acid. Very refreshing and absolutely electric. The grapes are made into a still wine, bottled, and the lees of older vintages are added for secondary fermentation. Recklessly chuggable, and dangerously delicious.
Grape Variety: Riesling Region: Moravia, Czech Republic
Tastes like: Green apple skin, fresh lychee, honey, sea breeze
Best with: panna cotta with honey, salty hors d’oeuvres, foie gras, thai green curry
Size: 750 ml
Alc Content: 12%

Milan Nestarec
No gimmicks, no magic, and no bullshit. Approachable, zippy, and full of life, Milan Nestarec’s wines are now among the most recognizable bottles of natural wines in the world. According to the man himself: Milan Nestarec is not a winery. “It is ideas that just happen to be represented through wine."

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.
