When he found that his Muscat grapes needed a push to finish fermentation, he added 50 grams of his own honey per litre to the tank. The result is not a sweet wine. It is a dry one, but with a flavour dimension that no amount of winemaking technique could replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes — a blend of Moravian Muscat, Muscat Ottonel, yellow Muscat, and several hybrid varieties — come from 0.3 ha of young, organically farmed vines on sandy, south-facing soils at the Veselý and Novosády sites. Whole-cluster fermentation in open wooden tanks. Foot-stomped. Ten months in old acacia barrels, stirred regularly. No sulphites, no fining, no filtration.
