Winemaking: I process the grapes in a traditional way, using a hand-press. Both the fermentation and the aging are in barrels made of local Zemplén oak. All the grapes were harvested in early October in Istenhegy vineyard. This land contains plenty of quartz and zeolite remains which give the wines a distinct but vibrant, lively character.
Wine tasting: “This wine fermented in 500-l wooden barrel and is currently aging in a separate small barrel. Superb balance, this wine has a refined and elegant structure. A classical style, very substantial, I would say almost thick. The aroma presents the more restrained fruit of mineral wines. Long, full finish with salty-matt notes.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
