Sonberk Palava

Moravia, Czech Republic

Moravia's indigenous aromatic variety at its finest — explosive lychee, rose petal, ginger, and apricot from Pavlov limestone with a long, mineral finish. A Czech original of world-class aromatic intensity, often compared to Alsatian Gewürztraminer.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The wine's aromatic intensity cuts through Czech cuisine's richness; caraway's spice finds direct resonance in Pálava's ginger notes
• cheese: Moravian pungent cheese and Pálava is a local classic — the wine's aromatic power matches the cheese's intensity; each lifts the other
