This was the first Pinot we have tasted in our small tastings of Pinot Noirs in category CZK 250 - CZK 500. This was quite fruity and light style of Pinot, very straightforward, young with lighter body. I would recommend to drink it instead of rose as it had higher acidity and was very refreshing rather complex type of drinking. Not sure about the price of such rose :)
