Pinot Blanc is an old French grape variety, a member of Pinot family associated particularly with Alsace, a white mutation of Pinot Gris which is itself a lighter-berried version of Pinot Noir. The cultivar requires excellent warm slopes, in appropriate conditions it regularly ripens into Prädikatswein providing full-bodied, harmonic and extractive wines. In the Czech Republic Pinot Blanc is the 8th most grown vine variety with about 800 ha planted. It is processed to various styles of wines from dry to sweet varietal wines, but also for blends mainly for sparkling wine.

Moravia region, Slovacko subregion
This Pinot Blanc 2012 comes from the Slovacko subregion, from the winery Zamecke vinarstvi Bzenec - collection GRANDS VINS D'ALFONS MUCHA. Yellow-gold color, fine aroma with floral notes, lemon, honey, pears and bread crust. The palate is full, with taste of pears, peaches, citrus flavors with a distinctive minerality, with nutty and bread notes. Thanks to maturing in the bottle, the wine is round, very elegant and harmonic with different layers of flavors. The acidity is still lively lingering into sweet aftertaste of residual sugar.

This wine comes from a collection GRANDS VINS D'ALFONS MUCHA featuring paintings by world known Czech Art Nouveau painter Alfons Mucha. He was born in Moravia and produced at the turn of 19th and 20th century. The painter became famous literally overnight when in 1895 painted an advertisement for the Parisian play Gismonda for Sarah Bernhardt, the famous actress in Théatre de la Renaissance. The poster had such a huge success that the actress started a six year contract with him.
Mucha's paintings feature often young women in flowing robes surrounded by flowers, the posters are characterized by pastel colors. Altough he produced lots of posters, illustrations, advertisements and postcards, his masterpiece is the so called The Slav Epic depicting, on twenty huge canvases, the history of Czech people and other Slavic nations.
The label of this Pinot Blanc is depicting Winter from the series The Seasons of the Year.
