Chardonnay from hot vintage with round mouth profile, lower acidity and slightly higher residual sugar. It is different from Slovácko and Znojmo 011 vintages tasted previously. I do not like the level of residual sugar in this wine. Also the sugar level in grapes is most likely understated as pozdní sběr would not reach 13.5% alcohol level with residual sugar in the vines being left.
