Impera, 2019 Merch had a 6 day macerationThere is incredible value to be had in the Czech Republic, as this delightful bottle shows. Produced from a mix of St Laurent and Frankovka grown on volcanic rocks, the wine is skin macerated for 4 5 weeks in open wooden vats before ageing for a year in used oak and acacia barrels. Light, juicy and crunchy yet with savoury complexity and volcanic intensity, perfect for a lighter option with winter y flare.
