Milan Nestarec OKR is a natural orange wine from the Moravia region of the Czech Republic. Crafted by winemaker Milan Nestarec, this wine embodies his philosophy of producing approachable, everyday wines with minimal intervention.

Vinification: The grapes are hand-harvested and gently destemmed. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, primarily with whole berries, over 5 to 7 days, depending on the variety. This process involves minimal stomping and gentle punch-downs to ensure a delicate extraction. After pressing, the wine spends about 8 months on lees in stainless steel tanks and is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfites. 

Tasting Notes: OKR presents a vivid ochre hue, offering aromas of lemon tart, peach, and pineapple. On the palate, it is lively and fun, with floral notes and a hint of the "orangey" character typical of skin-contact wines. The wine maintains great energy and distinguished aromatics without heavy tannins or prolonged maceration. 

Food Pairing: This versatile wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including seafood, poultry, and vegetarian fare. Its vibrant acidity and aromatic profile complement both light and moderately rich foods.

About Winemaker

Milan Nestarec

Located in Velké Bílovice, Moravia, Nestarec Winery spans 24 hectares of organic-certified vineyards, managed with regenerative agricultural practices. Under the guidance of Milan Nestarec and his family, the estate produces approximately 75,000 bottles annually, showcasing varieties like Gruner Veltliner, Neuburger, and Pinot Noir. Embracing minimal intervention, the wines undergo spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts and see little to no sulfur, highlighting the region's loess, clay, and sandy soils.

Milan's winemaking journey began early, taking charge of the cellar at just 16. Over the years, influenced by global natural winemakers, he transitioned the estate to organic viticulture and adopted a low-intervention approach. Today, Nestarec wines are celebrated for their authenticity, expressing Moravia's unique terroir and Milan's unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.
