Plener Riesling 2022 feat 2023

Vinařství Plenér’s Riesling 2022 feat. 2023 applies Dominika Černohorská's signature non-vintage blending technique specifically to Ryzlink rýnský (Riesling). By combining two distinct harvests, this wine melds the fleshier, ripe orchard fruit of the warmer 2022 vintage with the crisp, electric acidity and vertical drive of 2023.

Profile Overview

• Producer: Vinařství Plenér (Dominika Černohorská)

• Region: Pavlov / Klentnice, Mikulov Subregion, Moravia (Czech Republic)

• Terroir: Limestone-rich soils of the Pálava Hills

• Grape Variety: 100% Riesling (Ryzlink rýnský)

• Vinification: Spontaneous fermentation using natural yeasts, low intervention, aged on fine lees in stainless steel with partial neutral oak, bottling unfined or minimally filtered.

Key Characteristics & Concept

• Multi-Vintage Harmony: Combining 2022 (which brought lower yields, higher sugar ripeness, and generous texture) with 2023 (which added tight acidity, lime zest vibrancy, and structural spine) creates a balanced, complete wine.

• Aroma & Flavor Profile: Nose opens with white peach, dried lipo blossom (linden flower), candied lemon peel, and a hint of crushed wet stone. Over time, subtle petrol and honeyed mineral undertones emerge.

• Palate & Texture: Bone-dry with high, persistent acidity. The mid-palate has an inviting weight and slight texture from lees contact, leading into a long, distinctly salty and chalky finish characteristic of Moravian limestone.

Serving Suggestions

• Service Temperature: 10–12°C (avoid serving ice-cold to let the aromatic profile open up). Decanting 20–30 minutes beforehand enhances its mineral depth.

• Pairings: Excellent alongside pan-seared river fish (trout, pike-perch), roasted pork belly, Asian dishes with lemongrass and ginger, or aged goat cheeses.
