Winemaking

After selecting the grapes, the whole bunches were pressed and the wine fermented in stainless steel before being barrel-aged for 5 months. After bottling bottle aging lasts for six months.

Wine tasting

“This lot presents the grapes from a unique and very small parcel. The winery selected the best vineyards with the greatest care, then found the most suitable Furmint clones for the land. This Furmint is a result of this work.

Clean in the nose, but still a little closed. A hint of herbs and green plants. Superb acids in the mouth with a very refined structure. Exciting but at the same time very elegant too. Long, substantial feeling, it’s everywhere in the mouth, nowhere is it forceful. A very beautiful wine with extremely long aging potential.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
