Sonberk Pálava VOC 2024
Sonberk Winery
Moravian Pálava from the vineyards above the village of Popice in the Mikulov subregion. An aromatic white from a grape that was bred right here in South Moravia.
Vineyard and grape
Sonberk farms the slope above Popice with a view of the Pálava Hills. VOC stands for wine of original certification, a protected designation of origin.
Pálava is a Moravian cross of Traminer and Müller Thurgau. It takes rose and spice aromas from Traminer, but is usually fresher and lighter.
How we serve it
We pour it chilled to 10 to 12 °C. An aromatic wine needs a little warmth, ice cold would mute its aromas.
We use a white wine glass with a narrower rim that keeps the aromas close. Pálava also makes a good first glass of the evening.
What we pour it with
Its pronounced aroma and gentle spice suit dishes that would overpower other wines. From our menu we recommend it with grilled prawns with chilli and mango, beef tenderloin tataki with ponzu, foie gras with red cabbage chutney or our selection of house cheeses.
We do not offer it with steak, where a red from our list works better.
