Winnica NOVI is a small family-run estate in Cianowice, on the Kraków-Czestochowa Upland in southern Poland, close to Ojców National Park. Established in 2018, the vineyard covers just over three hectares at around 410 metres above sea level, where limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate favour fresh, aromatic wines. The estate focuses on grape varieties suited to Poland’s growing conditions, including Regent, Léon Millot and Cabernet Cortis, used here to create a distinctive local red blend.
Cuvée Rouge 2023 brings together Regent, Léon Millot and Cabernet Cortis, three varieties that combine dark fruit, fresh berry character and a gentle herbal spice. Aromas of cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant are joined by wild berries, pepper and dried herbs. The palate is fresh and medium-bodied, with lively acidity, soft tannins and a clean, gently savoury finish. At 12% alcohol, this is an elegant, easy-drinking red rather than a heavy or heavily extracted style. Serve slightly chilled with charcuterie, roast poultry, mushrooms, grilled meats or pork dishes.
