# Medek wine, naturally

We like wine that still moves, so we do not filter it. That leaves more in the
glass, in the smell and in the taste. Our wines ferment on the native yeasts that
come in from the vineyard, which is why the difference between one variety and
the next is wide here. We do not stop the fermentation. We pick the grapes
very ripe, so the alcohol climbs fast; the yeasts give out before the wine is dry,
and whatever sugar they did not get through stays in it. We then rack it off the
heavy lees so it does not start again. So alongside the dry wines you will find
off-dry ones and some with sugar left in, a little different every year.

We use very little sulphur, and we bottle straight off the fine lees, with no
filtration and nothing else added to keep it. Wine made this way is alive in the
bottle: it can throw a little sediment, it can change over a few months, and it
is at its best drunk young rather than kept.

We make small lots. Some of them run out in a season and do not come back, since
the next vintage is never the same wine.

People give us five stars on
[Google](https://g.page/vinarstvimedek). The way to find out for yourself is to
come and taste, ideally [down in the cellar with us](https://www.vinarstvimedek.cz/en/wine-tastings).
