Aleš Svatoš is a 61-year-old laboratory scientist and chemist turned natural winemaker. He founded the Porta Bohemica winery in 2010, after many years of planning and studying on how to make natural wine. The vineyards are located in northern Bohemia, very close to Germany where Aleš works as a chemist, and their most important grape variety is Muller Thurgau. This particular wine sees the grapes spending two days in contact with the skins, lending some structure to the wine, which has a dry, fruit-forward, and mineral profile.
