Modré Rieky

Why this particular wine?

Cuvée Modré rieky from the Mrva & Stanko winery is a distinctive Slovak red wine that masterfully combines four unique domestic grape varieties: Hron, Váh, Rimava and Rudava. The varieties, which are collectively known as "blue rivers", were bred by the renowned Slovak vintner Dorota Pospíšilová. The wine is characterized by a deep ruby ​​color and a complex aromatic profile with notes of black currants, dark forest fruits such as blueberries and blackberries, complemented by notes of graphite and tobacco. In the taste, it offers a rich and velvety structure with a taste of dark berry fruit, a subtle spiciness and a well-structured balance of acids and tannins. This cuvée not only presents the potential of Slovak viticulture, but also pays tribute to the wine heritage of the country.
