Variety: Chardonnay
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Wine appellation: Moravia, Velké Pavlovice sub appellation, Krumvíř village, Nivy vineyard
Vintage: 2004
Alcohol content: 14.0%
Color: medium yellow
Bouquet: nice meadow flowers, honey

Overall score: 86

What I like on this wine was excellent bottle maturity with perfect balance between the residual sugar and acidity. The wine is classified as dry, but I would guess the sugar is around 5g and the acidity is compensating it so it can be classified as dry. Very nice piece, although alcohol is 14.0% it does not stand out at all.
