This is my hidden gem, I remember discovering this wine about 2 years ago and I immediately bought a case. It is produced by MVZ the owner of Mikros, one of the best producer of Welsh Riesling. As it is from Mikulov area I suspect it could easily be from the same vineyards. The wine is very nice and complex with nice round mouth feel and excellent bottle maturity.
