This is Pinot from basic row of Habanske sklepy and I am positively surprised as I expected worse result considering the price. It is fruitier style of Pinot Noir with very clean nose and also taste profile. We had it with pork neck baked for almost 5 hours in lard with garlic and thyme and it went very well:-).
