Easy and fresh, this defiantly rustic rosé—served in a liter bottle, the traditional way in Moravia!—proves that uncomplicated doesn’t mean boring. Named for “Růžová” or “pink” in Czech, this features a lot of Czech wunderkind Milan Nestarec’s favorite Blaufrankisch, as well as a bit of Zweigelt, fermented for about a month before aging in steel and wood. It’s deceptively simple: with all the vibes of beer on tap, it’s juicy with candy-like red berries, a kiss of tannin, and a hint of butter and honey!

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.
