Stavek, BFMB 2020 750ml

Vineyard: Experimental fieldblend, planted in 2012. Sandy slopes of Bočky, Veselý / Němčičky, farmed organically by Richard himself.

Making of: Grapes are hand-harvested and whole bunches are fermented in an open-topped barrel for about 10 days with only indigenous yeast. The grapes are foot-stomped, and the wine then spends 10 months in old acacia barrels of various sizes, with regular batonnage. Unfiltered and unfined, bottled with a tiny bit of SO2.

Winemaker's Note: B.F.M.B. stands for “Black Friday for Mlady Boček” – the 2020 vintage saw a very little yield of the Sevar variety (due to spring rains that affected flowering), so the cuvée sports significantly less of it than usual.
