A very interesting and refreshing combination of spinach with ricotta and trout, which is complemented by mashed potatoes.

Recommendation:

Sommelier’s recommendation:A very interesting and refreshing combination of spinach with ricotta and trout, topped with mashed potatoes. The concert of flavours, dominated by spinach and cheese, will certainly be complemented by a truly royal wine – Riesling 2012 late harvest from the Chateau Bzenec Terroir Collection winery. What is the characteristic of this wine? Higher golden colour, elegant fruity aroma reminiscent of dried apricots, meadow flowers in the background with notes of honeycomb. The palate is rich, broad-bodied with firm acidity and a long aftertaste. Available for purchase at www.osobnivinoteka.cz. Approximate price: £239.
