Thaya Svatovavřinecké 2020 Premium
Thaya Svatovavřinecké Premium comes straight from the enchanting Morava wine region, more specifically from the subregion of Znojemská. This region is known for its rich wine tradition and unique terroir, which results in wines of exceptional quality. This delightful wine is made from the St. Laurent grape, a variety widely used in the Czech Republic, known for its deep flavor and elegant structure. The grape has smaller berries and produces wines with soft, yet well-integrated tannins. The flavor profile is often full-bodied and mouth-filling, with a beautiful balance between fruitiness and complexity. The St. Laurent grape is also particularly suited for barrel aging, which enhances the richness of the flavor experience. What makes this wine even more special is the way it is aged. The Thaya Svatovavřinecké Premium has matured for no less than 18 months in oak barrels of various sizes and types. This aging process not only imparts a subtle woody note but also adds depth and an elegant finish to the wine. The combination of the St. Laurent grape and oak wood results in a rich, complex wine that truly reveals its full potential with every sip. With an alcohol content of 12.5%, the wine has a pleasant structure that is equally enjoyable in both summer and winter. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply want to enjoy a good glass of wine, the Thaya Svatovavřinecké Premium offers an experience you won’t soon forget. In short, this wine is a true pleasure for the senses.
The Thaya Svatovavřinecké Premium immediately stands out with its deep, dark ruby red color, a visual sign of the complexity this wine has to offer. The aroma is characterized by alluring scents of dried plums, evoking an intense fruitiness. As the wine develops, the scent of the plums transforms into that of plum jam, adding an extra layer of depth and charm to the wine. The taste of this Thaya Svatovavřinecké Premium is truly impressive: full and fruity, with a powerful and robust structure that tantalizes the taste buds. The finish is particularly long, leaving a lasting impression as the flavors continue to linger after drinking. This wine is not only delightful on its own but also pairs perfectly with the right dishes. An ideal pairing is, for example, venison stew, where the rich, savory flavors of the venison beautifully complement the robust character of the wine. The deep fruity notes and woody finish enhance the complex flavors of the stew, creating a harmonious and unforgettable dining experience. To get the most out of this wine, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 16ºC and 18ºC.
The Thaya winery is located on the outskirts of the village of Havraníky, not far from the impressive flow of the Dyje River. This river was already famous in the pre-Celtic period. The people of that time referred to it with the Indo-European word "dheu" or "to flow." Over the following hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of years, it maintained the reputation of a river that divides nations but also unites them. The river, with its thermoregulating effect combined with the cold winds from the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, gives the local wines an unmistakable spicy flavor and fullness. An ideal place to produce beautiful wines. The Thaya Svatovavřinecké Premium is, of course, one of the exquisite creations of the winery.
