2019 PETR KORAB "UNFILTERED" NEUBURGER CZECH REPUBLIC
2019 PETR KORAB "UNFILTERED" NEUBURGER, MORAVIA,CZECH REPUBLIC. 100% Neubuger.
Crisp refreshing minerality, underripe stone fruit, and light pear tones, just a touch of funky complexity. Great by itself, or extremely versatile on the table. Try it with seared scallops, grilled shrimp, and cod fish tacos!
About: Petr Koráb studied to become an attorney, but shortly after moving to Prague to practice he realized what he really wanted was to spend his time in the vineyard his grandfather had planted in 1934. “I love living with a vineyard, animals, around nature. But the main engine for me is endless learning.”
Petr cultivates nearly 4 hectares of vineyards, some vines are 84 years old. New plantings are on limestone subsoil. Varieties selected are typical of the region. The first vintage of KORÁB - živá hora (live hill) was 2006. It began with cultivation of grapes in old vineyards, fermentation has always been spontaneous with an authentic mindset. Gradually, the vineyards were converted to organic cultivation and supplemented this with biodynamic philosophy. Petr discovered how he farmed affected the wines in the cellar. If he started with fruit that was clean and healthy the wine needs little in the cellar. This allows him to opporte in the cellar by, “controlled doing nothing”, as he describes.
Petr Koráb is trying to find an authentic way. Not only new ways but also time tested old ways forgotten in today's consumer lifestyle. The ultimate goal is to bottle living wine not "marred" by additives.
