Gold medal winner from Velkopavlovicka appellation I was interested in the wine so I bought one bottle. Usually Andre when young can be quite harsh, this is not the case and is more similar to Zweigelt, but slightly higher tannins typical for Andre. I quite like it especially considering the price, I will get 2 more bottles to see the cellar development.
