Bárta have one thing in common—they are total crowdpleasers and are dangerously drinkable. This \u003cstrong\u003eBlaufränkisch\u003c\/strong\u003e showcases cherries, a bit of vanilla, and smooth, velvety tannins that will be loved even by people who are not into red wines. A must-have in every household!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJiří Bárta farms only 0.25 hectares of vineyards in Kobylí, Moravia—\u003cstrong\u003eorganically and mostly by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e. Born into an agricultural family, Jiří has always had a very strong bond with land and farming. His vineyards are more than 40 years old and planted with a mix of locally typical grapes including Blaufränkisch, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Blanc, and Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrganic Farming\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is farmed organically with very little tractor work to avoid soil compaction. No herbicides or pesticides ever; the only fertilizers are grape pomace spread in the vineyards after harvest and cow manure every 7 years. This meticulous, hands-on approach ensures healthy vines and expressive wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTerroir \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soils in Kobylí are quite light—mostly loess and sand—ideal for making light, easy-drinking wines that express their variety. The village is part of the Modré Hory winegrowing area (\"blue mountains\"), renowned especially for its red wines. The wines are born in a tiny cellar under the family house, where they \u003cstrong\u003espontaneously ferment\u003c\/strong\u003e and slowly age in a few oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherries lead the way with a touch of vanilla from oak aging. Smooth, velvety tannins make this approachable and dangerously drinkable—even for those who typically don't enjoy red wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVersatile and crowd-pleasing—perfect with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, pasta dishes, or enjoyed on its own. A must-have for any household. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Bárta\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJiří produces very small amounts from his 0.25-hectare plot, making each bottle a rare expression of hands-on organic farming and traditional winemaking in Moravia's Modré Hory area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kobylí, Modré Hory, Moravia, Czech Republic | \u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic (hand-farmed) | \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sublime Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56839746650377,"sku":"SKU000001","price":21.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8060\/7934\/files\/Jiri_Barta_Blaufrankisch_WEB.jpg?v=1777638497","url":"https:\/\/sublime.wine\/products\/jiri-barta-blaufrankisch-2021","provider":"Sublime Wine ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
