Milan Nestarec OKR

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.
