Milan Nestarec, Danger 230 Volts 2025 375ml

Muller-Thurgau, Neuburger, Moravian Muscat 

Moravia, Czech Republic

One of Nestarec's most beloved wines, a salty-citrus-exotic sparkler that captures the wonderful, unique energy of nascent wine in a take on the Ancestrale method. Refrigerated must from the same vineyard and vintage re-initiates fermentation in bottle. A field blend of Neuburger (for personality), Muller (for drinkability), and Muscat (for some aromatic oomph).

After several very warm ones, 2025 represented a return to a cooler growing season, defined by stability and slow ripening, which allowed the grapes to develop complex aromas while retaining their freshness. A long, warm summer and a dry autumn without extremes. A vintage that favors white wines, making them distinctive, linear, and well-structured. 

On the name:

"Its origins were truly dangerous: the first time I tried to make it in 2012, I bottled it with too much residual sugar and my warehouse became a military zone, randomly exploding here and there. It took me a bit of time to digest that 5,000 bottles went down the drain, but I eventually got over it and tried again. When tasting the second iteration with my wife, it was so refreshing, so energetic; right next to us, no kidding, stood an electric transformer with the notorious Danger 380 V sign. Bang, the name & label were born in a sec."
