Kpo says: Rare white local variety of Slovakia! Also a first time for me!!! |
Beautiful and fresh white wine from the new Slovak Breslava variety bred by Dorka Pospíšilová and Ondrej Korpás. Chrupka Červená (Chasselas Rose x Tramín Cervený (Red Traminer)) x Santa Maria d’Alcantara. The wine has a delicate aroma of grapefruit and orange and the taste of garden fruits such as apricot and apple.
