Jiří Bárta Welschriesling

Food-Friendly Pinot Blanc from Tiny Organic Vineyards Bárta's Pinot Blanc is a total crowd pleaser. Citrus fruits, gooseberry, light minerality, and just the right amount of acidity make this a perfect wine for gastronomy. We are in love. The Producer Jiří Bárta farms only 0.25 hectares of vineyards in Kobylí, Moravia—organically and mostly by hand. Born into an agricultural family, Jiří has always had a very strong bond with land and farming. His vineyards are 50 years old and planted with a mix of locally typical grapes like Blaufränkisch, Grüner Veltliner, and Pinot Blanc. Organic Farming Everything 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. Terroir & Winemaking The soils in Kobylí are quite light—mostly loess and sand—ideal for making light, easy-drinking wines that express their variety. The wines are born in a tiny cellar under the family house, where they spontaneously ferment and slowly age in a few oak barrels. Tasting Notes Citrus fruits and gooseberry lead the way, supported by light minerality and perfectly balanced acidity. This is a wine that shines with food, making it ideal for gastronomy and versatile pairing. Food Pairing & Serving Perfect for gastronomy—pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, light pasta dishes, salads, and fresh cheeses. Serve slightly chilled. A true crowd pleaser for any occasion. About Bárta Jiří 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.
