The RUZ is together with OKR the new addition to the Nestarec‘s ‘1 litre’ line. This rosé is mild in the nose but on the palate is full of fruity and floral aromas. Raspberry, jasmine, lime blossom to mention a few. It is such a fun rosé!

From Milan :
say hi to Růž! (The name is once again a simple description of its colour, since "růžová" means pink in Czech.)

Gently foot-stomped, slowly pressed the day after, spontaneously fermented in stainless steel, a material that's sometimes denigrated but that I like to use for wines like this since it keeps them young and fresh. For the same reason, full transparency, Růž has seen a bit of SO2 added (15ppm at bottling).

Just like for its Běl sibling, I don't take sulfur as a dogma – I don't use it when not necessary, but here it helps to keep the wine in line with its desired character.
