Moravia, Czech Republic

When summarizing Milan’s work, we would like to start by quoting our dear friend Marko Kovac, co-founder of Central Europe’s most respected salon - Karakterre:

‘There really should be a division to BMC and AD in the Czech Republic. That’s Before Milan Nestarec & Anno Domini. Not to say that he is the reincarnation of Christ. But he did show the way for many who today make Eastern Europe one of the world’s most exciting & vibrant wine regions. Milan's name is on many of grower’s lips there. To the point that “like Nestarec” really should become Moravia dictionary’s proper entry.’

Yet, what does it really mean to be Nestarec, as Milan himself is changing, and coming to a phase of greater than ever precision & elegance in his wines. Plus, the dedication to pure low-intervention wines is undisputed here.

Now taken to the next level, one where the wine grower himself is growing up & with the best vintages still to come.

Milan's latest releases are yet another impressive showcase how hard work in the vineyard combined with a great deal of patience pays off. His wines spend at least two winters and one full summer in the cellar for the main cuvées, making all the difference for minimum intervention wines to showcase a great deal of terroir and quality without the use of SO2. Today, Milan works with a variety of Czech and Austrian varieties, and his wines have become a style on their own, giving varieties like Neuburger and Grüner Veltliner a completely different direction. These are future classics of Central Europe in their own right.
