Jaroslav Osička Ryšák

Distinctly Czech Ryšák - The Ultimate Summer Wine

Ryšák ("gingerhead" in Czech) is a uniquely Czech wine category that sits somewhere between white, red, and rosé, mingling white and red grapes together into a very sippable, refreshing wine. This one from Czech natural wine pioneer Jaroslav Osička simply screams summer—chill it and don't think about it too much, just enjoy on a summer balcony or wherever you need an easy-drinking crowdpleaser. Our favourite wine of the season.
